I know, right?! It's just craziness. What in the world is wrong with Mother Nature? Gah! Oh well, it looks pretty even if I am ready for flowers, sunshine and warmth.
Anyway, I decided that I was going to try to recreate a cloche/stand that I saw on Pinterest (don't you just LOOOOOOVE Pinterest?) and of course I logged on to link the original post and its gone. Do your pins sometimes just disappear?
This is it. Beautiful isn't it? Well, maybe not so much in this picture. I apologize now for the lack of in between pictures. I only have a before and after. The materials that I used were really simple. From top to bottom, a knob from Lowes (hot glued onto the top of course), a metal trashcan from the dollar store, an old plate and a candle holder (both of which I had laying around the house). I pulled out my trusty hot glue gun and E5000. I hot glued the knob to the top and the plate to the candle holder. I added a little E5000 around the outside of the candle holder to give it a little extra support. The trashcan I had to cut, it was just a little too tall for my taste so I just cut it down to where I liked it and boom, done. Now, onto the fun part. Spray paint!!!! I adore spray paint, it's so cheap that I want to spray paint everything I see. I pulled out my trusty ole heirloom white and went to town. A few coats later, here is the final product:
I think it turned out great! You'd never know that its just a bunch of stuff that I had laying around the house and a trashcan from the dollar store. I can't wait to figure out all the fun things I can do with it and since its just spray paint, if I get a wild hair to change the color it will only cost about 3.99 to give it a whole new look. Yeeeeeaaaah!
