My last name is Rakes, so I have been wanting to make one of these forever. I got the broke rake head about 2 years ago. No idea where it came from. I finally got around to fixing it up. I got these flowers from the Dollar Store and twisted them around the rake. Then I got some felt with adhesive on the back and covered it so that it wouldn’t scratch up my door.
I may try to get another, bigger bow for the bottom of it. I am not good at making bows.
I am on the lookout for one more rake head to make a Christmas themed one.
I love how it looks in and of itself, but then with your name… It was always meant to be! The rake shape is also reminiscent of a cornucopia shape now that you have the narrow end filled in, so the fact that this first one is autumn themed is perfect. Yes, a whole variety of these for different seasons would be great. I can see a weaving project, too.
) makes it a really interesting piece.
