While the majority of our shoppers are buying home improvement items for the originally intended use we do get many creative people who come up with artistic things to do with items in the store. Beth, one of our regular volunteers, saw an article about using hardware to decorate pumpkins. She came up with the Jack O'Lantern pictured.
The pumpkin itself is made of styrofoam. For the eyes and mouth Beth used screws and nails, The hair is made of wire. A drawer pull is used for the nose and a piece of duct work became a hat.
We do not sell the pumpkins or the ReStore t-shirts but hardware, lumber, gloves, and wires are available in the store. The items used for the Jack O'Lantern Beth made would cost about $5.
If anyone has made creative use of items purchased at the New Castle County ReStore please send us pictures. We would enjoy showing off your creativity and giving our customers new ideas.
