Dollar Store Decorating ~ Valentine's Day Dessert Stand
I was at Dollar Tree last week scoping out some Valentine's Day decor and getting my usual things: salt & pepper grinders, pop-up foil sheets, drink mixes to add to bottled water, and batteries for the Wii remote. While I was there, a solid black plate caught my eye. (can y'all believe I forgot to take a pic of the plate before I wrote all over it?!) I had just purchased a gold paint pen at Michael's, and I knew I could jazz this plate up! A few minutes later, I spied this candlestick holder on the candle aisle and I knew they were meant to be together! It's gold with black splatters - perfect for what I had in mind now!
At home I wrote one of my favorite quotes "Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much" around the plate with the gold metallic paint pen. At the bottom I added a bunch of doodled flowers and hearts. Then I grabbed the brush-on super glue and here's the final result!

Oh my gosh what a fantastic idea! I am so going to steal, err borrow this! It looks fantastic. I wonder if you used a short candlestick if you could use it as a cakestand?

Thanks y'all! Yes, I think you could use a shorter candlestick holder and make this a cake stand! Would look adorbs!! In fact, that may be my next project - a white plate with a crystal candlestick holder maybe? : )
ReplyDeleteCute! Love your writing by the way! If I had free handed you might not be able to read it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job! You have a great eye for seeing the potential in things Plus - I'm so impressed that you wrote on it yourself! I'm so afraid of "messing up" Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen & Mimi! I just took a deep breath and went for it. It isn't perfect, but it turned out fine as far as the handwriting goes! I really do love it!
