Snow Shovel (Hoarding) Stenciling

Last year I was surprised at the end of the "buying season" to find I had hoarded sleds.  They just slowly accumulated, one at a time sneaking into my shed until I was an honorary member of Sled-Owners Anonymous.  This year it seems to be snow shovels.

I think I didn't even get started until mid-summer.

I just considered how cool (one of the green) shovels looked.

Like a blank slate, just waiting for some winter inspiration.

Then I started finding all sorts of  other "blank slates".

 

My only prerequisite was that they be metal.

 

And then I got to work stenciling them...

For the above two I used a top from an old

Shiny Brite Box as a stencil for the Christmas Tree.

 

I thought a snowflake design was

the most appropriate.

Love the wear that this one shows.

This is my favorite,

I love the yellow peeking through.

 

I am scaring myself a little --

I caught myself admiring a cool looking rake the other day....
