Tobacco Stick Sled

The other day when I was in the attic taking down our Christmas decorations, I found a tobacco stick sled that I made a long time ago.  I decided that I would bring it down and spruce it up so that I could display it this Christmas. 

I made a lot of these sleds years ago and sold them at craft shows.  They were a big seller.   I also made chairs out of tobacco sticks and they also sold well at craft shows.    I have one chair left and my daughter-in-law has it on her porch.  I’ll have to take a picture of it. 

 

To give the sled a new look, I dried brushed it with white paint. 

Next, I added some Christmas greens, a red bow and a pair of wooden skates on the front of it. 

I think  I’m liking the new  make-over. 

For now, I have it in the entry way but who knows where it will end up. 

I almost forgot that I had that sled and I  was so excited when I discovered it.   Don’t you  just love attic treasure finds?
