I needed a new centerpiece for an upcoming tablescape, but couldn’t find anything that I really liked. As a crafter, the solution was very easy… make it myself.

Glam Candle Holder
I’m still using up items from my craft room as well as recycling things that could have gone into the land fills. You know how much I love sparkle & glam accents, especially since I love new items that can be used as a centerpiece. This is what I came up with.
Ugly Duckling Challenge
This was a different kind of challenge for me. We were asked to take something from a thrift store, that we normally wouldn’t put in our homes, and give it new life.
I think I did just that!
This was the before:

Recycled Candle with Crushed Glass Bling
I love to burn candles, especially when I’m cooking with onions. Problem is, I can’t seem to throw the empty candle jars away. Today, I’m going to show you my little trick for removing the wax from those candle jars.

Painted Flatware
By now you know me well enough to know that if I don’t have what I need, I make it. I wanted some copper colored flatware for a Fall tablescape. I couldn’t believe how expensive it was! $54.00? I don’t think so… I made mine for $2.64.
I found some plain silver flatware at Walmart. They had 4 packs for $.88 each so I got a pack of knives, spoons & forks. I washed & dried them, but in hind site, I should have used an S.O.S. pad to roughen up the surface. Live & learn.
Then using painter’s tape, I taped off everything that I didn’t want painted. I used 2 coats of metallic copper paint & 2 coats of Krylon’s Triple Thick clear glaze on both sides.
I love the way they turned out, and it was just what my tablescape needed.
Let me know what you think!
Happy Creating everyone!

Live, Laugh, Love – Wall Hanging
It’s no secret how much I love my ‘bling’. I just can’t seem to get enough of it. When I wanted to add a new wall hanging for my hallway, this project seemed to be perfect.
Framed Wrought Iron Cross
I’ve had and loved this wrought iron cross for years & it hung in our home in a prominent place. I always wished that it had more of a visual impact, which I felt it deserved. After adding a frame to the cross, it’s now a focal point. I love it even more.
