| | with mono filament (fishing line). I like
|
| pretty easy to find unique fishing gear
| |
| | to use cafe curtains with curtain clips
|
| to use as decorating items for your log
| |
| | on these swags because they hang below
|
| cabin or home. Here are a few fun ideas
| |
| | the bobbers and lures. Curtains with the
|
| for your fishing decor projects.
| |
| | long tabs work great as well.
|
| First you will need fishing gear. My
| |
| | Old fishing poles from yard sales are
|
| husband is not the fisherman in our
| |
| | very cheap and make great curtain rods. I
|
| family, I am. So it's easy for me to save
| |
| | especially like the cane poles because
|
| old fishing lures that the hooks have
| |
| | they are easy to cut to size.
|
| dulled and gives me a great excuse to buy
| |
| | Another idea is to hot glue bobbers and
|
| more too! Bobbers have a tendency to stop
| |
| | lures all over an old lamp base. I think
|
| floating after a few whacks on the rocks
| |
| | the more the better on this project,
|
| along the shoreline, rendering them
| |
| | totally covering the base. Of course the
|
| useless to the fisherman but a great find
| |
| | lamp size and your taste make a
|
| for the decorator. If you confiscate gear
| |
| | difference. If it's a very large lamp or
|
| from hubby's tackle box remember you now
| |
| | you just don't have enough lures and
|
| know what to get him for the next holiday
| |
| | bobbers you can hot glue solid bands,
|
| or special occasion!
| |
| | about 2 inches wide, of hemp rope or

| Yard sales and estate sales are great for
| |
| | twine to fill in larger areas.
|
| purchasing inexpensive, used fishing
| |
| | A mobile like you see in babies rooms are
|
| equipment for your decorating projects.
| |
| | fun and add an interesting art form to
|
| Yard sales are less risky than hubby's
| |
| | your fishing decor. I prefer to hang the
|
| tackle box too. Keep an eye out for used
| |
| | fishing gear at different levels instead
|
| fishing nets, poles, lures, bobbers,
| |
| | of all one length. Again I use twigs or
|
| metal stringers and other gear.
| |
| | sticks for this project's "cross" to hang
|
| The last thing you want is your fishing
| |
| | the lures, bobbers etc. from and fishing
|
| decor to smell fishy. Be sure to clean
| |
| | line to tie it all together.
|
| everything very carefully and thoroughly.

|
| the fun really begins, let your

| | would a picture and hot glue your
|
| imagination shine. Here are just a few
| |
| | treasures on the felt. A good trick is to
|
| ideas to get you started. Minnow buckets
| |
| | use sets of three. Three lures, one under
|
| make good catch all containers for
| |
| | the other in a corner, three bobbers side
|
| bedrooms, kid's rooms and bathrooms for
| |
| | by side for a top row, three hand reels
|
| items like crayons, hair do-dads, brushes
| |
| | in a row at the bottom for weight and one
|
| and combs etc. If you are really crafty
