Decorating Votive Candle Holders is very easy. Some of them when finished, can be very expensive. I’ll show you how to make 4 of them for very little money. They can be customized to go with what ever you need them for. Decorating, Weddings, Parties, Gifts…
The men in my life love their sports. NASCAR is no exception. We’re still Dale Earnhardt fans, and miss the excitement off his way of racing. While Mr. Earnhardt was alive, we collected memorabilia of his. So, why not decorate with it? I decided to surprise my men with a tablescape that is completely NASCAR. And naturally, in our home, it’s a Dale Earnhardt theme.
When you’re a crafter & people know it, they sometimes give you things thinking that you can do something with it. This project started with a friend giving me a pair of gold & glass cherub lamps that someone had given her. She thought of me because I’m always creating something. I’m going to get 2 or 3 projects from this pair of lamps. Here’s my first one:
I’m still playing around with birdhouses. I wanted to make a special birdhouse for my sister. She has a wonderful garden that makes me feel peaceful when I go there.
I know that she’s partial to green & daises. So it was only natural for me to make a green birdhouse & paint some daises on it for her.
I’m still longing for the beach. (maybe next year) I guess that’s why beach related things keep showing up in my posts.
When we first moved into our home, we bought this corner booth. I wanted it not only for the seating, but for the extra storage that was built into the seats. But I don’t like browns, not the color or in wood tones. And for years, I would look at this booth & cringe.
By now, you know the way I think. If you like the piece, but the color doesn’t go with your home…. paint it! So I did.
Happy Independence Day Everyone!
Today is the 4th of July! A day to celebrate, and since I love to decorate for the holidays, today was no exception.
I was looking for a small wooden tray to uses for vignettes. I was a little shocked at the prices of wood trays at the local craft stores. $10.00 was the cheapest price I could find. I didn’t have a coupon, so I waited. Then I stopped in at the local thrift store on a whim. I found this for under $2.00.
It wasn’t in the best shape, but it wasn’t the worst shape either. I know what a little sanding & painting can do.
I found this little guy at Michaels, on a clearance for only $2.99! He was so cute, but as you know by now, I can’t leave well enough alone. I always have to make it ‘my own’.
I had a lot of fun with this one. I’ve been playing with decorations for the 4th of July, and the thought of decorated candles come naturally to me. (I guess it’s because I love the look and feel of candlelight).
As usual, it’s an incredibly easy project to do.
