Hi friends! Hope everybody had a great Fall weekend! I wanted to start the blogging week off with something I created over the weekend…
Did I say over the weekend? What I really meant to say was that it was created over the space of about an hour yesterday afternoon (that includes paint drying time). In short, this was so easy, yet I can think of so many creative uses for it.
Materials:
vase
chalkboard paint
candlestick
adhesive
chalk
Step 1: Take your vase (mine came from Dollar Tree and I just love the shape of it….therefore I bought ten) and give it a few coats of chalkboard spray paint. Or, if you are like me, use a cheap black spraypaint for the first two coats, and the much more expensive chalkboard paint for the last two.
Step 2: Take your candlestick of choice (mine came from my mother-in-law via a local thrift store) and your adhesive of choice and attach.
Okay, so I fibbed a bit earlier…you really should wait overnight until actually using your new vase, but at this point, it’s practically complete…
All that’s left is to add your flowers, branches, etc., add a message, and admire.
I would be very surprised if this Lovely doesn’t make an appearance on my holiday mantel…maybe I’ll make a second to match? Not sure, either way, I love it.
Please let me know if you end up making one! Would love to post a link here…as well as get other ideas for myself:)
P.S. Look for an amazing giveaway coming tomorrow!
