This post is sponsored by The Home Depot. Here at Home Fixated, we like to put our tools to work on useful projects like lawn and home maintenance, repairs and construction. Sometimes we just do stuff that needs to be done. But today’s project is purely for the fun of it. We received an R8832 Ridgid 18V Octane jig saw and R86064 ¼ sheet sander to try out. Both tools served us well on the DIY picnic table project. This time they help us metamorphose wooden “caterpillars” into a pair of beautiful butterflies. We’ll take you under our wing and show you how to make your own butterfly wall art! Read More
