I know alot of you Primitive crafters don't do the light pastel colors, but sometimes you just gotta say "What the hay!" and go for it! That is just what I have done here, and all you Prim Lovers, hold your ears.....I AM USING THESE ALONGSIDE MY PRIMITIVES! Yep, and I love them! At this point, I am so sick of the dark, drab, cold Winter, that I think a few bright colors might look good! Atleast it is giving me some hope that Spring might get here someday!
I also see that Cottage Chic is making a come back! Seems every magazine you look in has some kind of Cottage inspired them in them. I was personally a Cottage/Shabby Chic Gal up until about 2 years ago! Shhhhhh, don't tell none of my Primitive friends....we'll just keep this among ourselves!
Well, I have bored you enough....on with the project!
Springtime/Easter Candleholder & Candy Dish
Supplies :
*Shaped & colored candle dish (found at $ Tree in various colors & shapes)
*Glass Candlestick (you can find these at the $ tree or usually at thrift shops cheaper..got mine for 50 cents each!)
*Glass Bowl ($ tree)
*Candle (found at $ tree in various colors, just coordinate it with your candle dish)
*E6000
First, we are going to start your Pillar Candlestick.
Let's start by putting a bead of glue all the way around your candlestick top.
Now, attach your colored candle dish to your candlestick. Let dry overnite for this to completely dry. Make sure you have it centered, because once this is dry....IT IS DRY FOREVER!
Take your piece of ribbon that came on the Candle dish box and tie a nice bow around your candlestick. Place your candle in dish, light and enjoy!!!
Time for your Candy Dish!
Again, lets start by putting a bead of glue all the way around your candlestick top.
Now, center your glass bowl ontop of your candlestick. Let dry overnite.
In the morning, fill with candy & enjoy!!!
Hope next time you are at the Dollar Store you take and look at what is on the shelves and "think outside the box"! Then you can have your own custom made pieces that no one else will have!
Both of these are wonderful ideas. Thank you so much for sharing.

You amaze me Char! They are both so Springy and pretty and something you normally would not think to do:)
ReplyDeleteThose look amazing! I need to look closer next time I go to $ tree...who knows what may look fantastic put together!
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative, I'd never thought about these. I have passed up alot of glass candle sticks and little glass bowls, but no more.
ReplyDeleteThanks

Those are very nice and easy crafts to make! Even I might be able to pull these off! LOL! Thanks for posting your great ideas.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
Very cute! I must go the Dollar tree more often.
ReplyDeleteChar I made several cookie servers from your tutorial around christmas that used the candlestick holder and the cheese cutting board glass tops. I bought more holders than I should have and then I didn't know what to do with them. Now I know!!!! Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteThat glass bowl would look beautiful with a floating candle in it.
Blessings,
