glass candle sticks and vases...

 I used the three candlesticks, tall glass vase, pink flower, tan flat candle holder and fleur de lis.

1. I used rust-oleum in oil rubbed bronze to spray paint the flat candle holder and the fleur de lis.

2. As those were drying I Gorilla Glued the candlesticks to the pink flower and glass candle holder and the pink glass knob to the bottom of one of the tall glass vases.

3. One the flat candle holder was dried I Gorilla glued it to the third glass candle stick.

4. Once all of the pieces were dried I placed the fleur de lis on the flat candle holder and placed the glass vase over the top of that. 

AND....

These look darling in my daughter's room. The pink flower holds her bracelets and I'm not sure what I am going to put in the empty one...maybe some mini decorated balls.
 

$5 Dollar store challenge

I was excited to read about this decorating challenge in blogland a few days ago. With my brain working in over drive I went to the dollar store a few times and couldn't come up with anything containing WOW reactions.
One night I was blog stalking from some link parties and ran across this project Nicole at It's a Sweet Life did last week.
I had just the right piece of wood sitting in my basement that would work perfectly. A few weeks ago I picked up some moss and pink ribbon at the Dollar Tree. I just needed to venture back to the Dollar Tree to pick up a green wreath! Woot woot!
Nicole used her hot glue gun, but for me it wasn't working very effectively so I switched to the 3M spray adhesive and it worked like a charm.
Here is the wreath completely covered waiting to dry.
Silly me didn't take pictures of the wood process. I painted it a light yellow, lightly sanded it and finished it off with MinWax Dark Walnut stain. Hot glued the ribbon to the back after wrapping it around the wreath. Tied a separate bow and got glued it on.
Voila!
I will be linking it to the 5 dollar store challenge next week. So excited to see all the fun things everyone linked up creates.
Here is the link to Lindsay's blog to go look around:
