Candy shop facade

Hello dear readers,

The flower shop is still pending.  While waiting for the perplex front, Meantime, I started a new, small project, a hanging candy shop facade.  It's also going to be sort of a tutorial in series.

Didn't have any shallow box at hand.  Instead,  a cheap wooden backgammon box (About 3/00 US$) cut in the middle yielded 4 shallow shells for 4 hanging shop facades.  I only had to cut some scrap wooden straps, found in the trash, (luckily the same width) and glue them to the open part of the box.







From the scrap piece, I cut one length for the shelves to be glued onto.




6 wooden tongue depressors were bound together and cut uniformly. Each 2  were glued together. making 3 shelves.



Tomorrow, I'll glue and paint.  My sweet 12 years old great granddaughter Dana, will come and work with me. We plan to make some candies together.  I am very excited about it.  This is the first time one of my offsprings shows interest in my hobby.

I wish you a lovely weekend with blessings.

  3. Ooohhh... A candy shop! That's going to be so much fun. I always think of Willie Wonka (the one with Gene Wilder) as well as the candy shop in my home town. They made peanut brittle and a bunch of other stuff in the shop. It was really cool.
    Can't wait to see more!

  15. This new project is for sure a fun one… candy shops are always fun! I really like the way you've built the "shell" that will host all those delicious treats you're going to made - with simple and not expensive means but so clever and effective. But the best thing is that you're going to share this project with Dana. It's so lovely that she's showing interest in your hobby.

    Hugs
    Birgit (who thinks it's sometimes good being a bit late - because this enables me to hop right away to your next post to see you work together with Dana)
