Well I haven't been very productive the past couple days but I did manage to put these guys together = )
It was kinda nice to have all this stuff laying around the house and not have to make a trip to any craft store. I picked up the candlestick bases a looong time ago from one of my Goodwill stores. I think they were maybe a buck a piece and they already looked like this (maybe silver leafed?), glass from Dollar Tree, scrapbook paper from a Martha book and the sand from the floral dept at Michael's.
Here's how they started out
Everything fit perfectly! You gotta love it when things work out like that = )
I used crinkle scissors to cut the paper and liked the tattered-ness of it. Not that anyone will be close enough to read but its got all kinds of mushy sayings on it = ) My strips weren't long enough to go around the entire glass so I used some mini glue dots to quickly adhere 2 strips. I totally plan to take the paper band off and use these after Valentine's too (minus the red sand, of course)!
Now to find a party to link to......
two posts in one week???? what has gotten into you?
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Don't ya love it when you have stuff lying around to craft with?! I am WAY behind in the craft department... I better get on it because Valentine'd day is a week from now!
ReplyDeleteShhh, don't tell anyone but I'm thinking about playing hookie from work on Wednesday so crafting might be in order for that day. ;)
Wow Emily....What a great fit. I always look for candle holders like those at Goodwill and never have luck. I am going to have to start going to the dollar store more...I had no idea they sold hurricane glasses like those!
ReplyDeleteTake care,

I can't believe the candlesticks and glass fit perfectly. What luck! Such a clever idea. They look great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project. How many glasses did you try to fit on before you discovered these ones!!! Ha!!
ReplyDeleteI bet they look extra gorgeous in real life.
