I always have a ton of Dollar Store candles in the house. Given last year's hurricane, I think it's wise to stock up. Unfortunately, they aren't the prettiest candles in the world. That is until you dress them up... I printed off the images onto clear transfer paper. The women are from Pinterest. The bee with the crown is from The Graphics Fairy. I simply cut around the images. Then just peel and stick. Super...
Saw some lovely mason jar candle holders on Pinterest yesterday. Since I have a ton of them, I decided to make a few myself: I took some vintage sheet music and ripped it on both sides so it would fit around each jar. First, I distressed the edges a bit for a nice aged look. Next, I wrapped the sheet music around each jar and used a glue dot to hold the overlapping piece in...

Recycled Food Cans Turned Patriotic Candle Holders
We have a busy weekend planned, so I wanted to share some quick patriotic candle holders I made using some food cans. Even though these aren't quite Memorial Day images, I think they still represent our patriotism. I printed them out from the Graphics Fairy. I mod podged each image on and then gave each a quick spray of clear paint. Once the paint was dry, I added some German glass glitter and some random...

They were originally white but a little grungy. I thought they would look good with a chocolate brown makeover but... They went back to white. I did indeed paint them brown but it was a flat brown and they looked, well, icky. So...
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I can't believe how fast it came and went. Today was so dreary here that me and the kids actually started taking some decorations down. Then we hit Target for some lights for next year. Somehow I came home with two of these pretties: Yup, Target already has some Valentine's Day items out. So of course that made me start working on a Valentine's Day windowsill for the kitchen. The pink...
I can't believe there are 10 more days until Christmas! I made a couple of last minute holiday pieces yesterday. Both from the Dollar Store: These itty bitty candles are maybe 2 inches tall. I printed out the great vintage image from The Graphics Fairy (wallet-size!) and used Mod Podge to glue them to the glass. After the second coat dried, I simply added two little red rhinestones which I think work perfectly with the vintage...
