Wood Christmas Sled Mini Makeover

After a wonderful visit at my moms last week,  I came home with a truck load of goodies   This wood and metal sled was one of them!  

 

It's definitely cute, but I decided to give it a mini makeover.

First, I made a wreath from faux pine branches and attached it.

Next, I painted the word BELIEVE on it using a stencil and white paint that I had.

 

 

After the paint dried, I lightly distressed it.

 

Then cut a piece of red and cream gingham homespun fabric to make a bow for the wreath.

The bow is wired onto the wreath with floral wire.

 

Like I mentioned, the sled was cute enough, but I like the little extra.

 

  What do you think?  

 

Would you have left it plain or given it a mini makeover too?     'til next time,       Linking to:  Uncommon Designs Online My Uncommon Sice of Suburbia Home Stories AtoZ I Should be Mopping the Floor My Love 2 Create The DIY Dreamer Knick of Time Interiors Snap Creativity 52 Mantels The Newlywed Pilgrimage My Repurposed Life Design Dining and Diapers
