This one is not meant to be copied, but instead to inspire you to create your own sentimental ornament from a family heirloom.
I remember looking through a catalog last year and saw a kitchen bowl made out of old tools welded together. My husbands grandfather passed away a few years ago, and when he did, my husband inherited many of his tools.
I showed the catalog picture my husband and asked if there was anything he could make similar to the bowl, out of the tools he inherited.
There were many ideas thrown around, along with complications since we didn’t have a welder. When all was said and done, my husband created what is shown in the picture above.
He took one of his grandfathers name plates (of whom my husband was named after), and some of his wrenches, to make this unique ornament that he gave to his mom last year for Christmas.
Now each Christmas, it serves to honor the memory of his grandfather as it is placed on the tree. Hopefully it will be a creation that will be passed down to future generations as a special family heirloom.
