After we finished the battening in downstairs we noticed we had a few palings left over, not enough to on sell but enough to make something with.
Mum had been chasing a mini picket fence for weeks to surround the Christmas Tree but couldn't find anything nice enough so Dad suggested we make one.
The finished product is pretty spectacular - I am going to steal it for Huddy's 2nd birthday Cowboy & Indian Party too. It is an effective Toddler barrier for Christmas presents under the tree too.

Wow, that is fantastic. And your dad is a total legend I might add, how lucky are you to have that kind of help living next door! mel x
ReplyDeleteHey Mel - Yes Dad (a mechanic by trade) is very clever and we are very lucky to have him, J says he is constantly learning new things from him :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea. Would also be suitable for a fire guard I would imagine (if kept at a safe distance).
ReplyDeleteSoo great idea...very effective Toddler barrier for Christmas.
