My $2.00 Dollar Tree Project ~Primitive Candle & Base"


Good Morning!!
I would like to share my $2.00 Dollar Tree project.
~CLICK THE IMAGE TO SEE IT BIGGER~
The wooden candle stick was white. I painted it black, added a coat of modge podge and while wet, sprinkled cinnamon. I let dry then added another coat of modge podge.
For the candle, I printed out the word I wanted then traced it on my candle with a stylus. Then engraved the words. I then painted the words black and on went a coat of modge podge. After it was completely dry, I used Deco Art walnut stain to make it look old.
This is for decoration purposes only but you can surely make a hole in the center and use a battery powered tea light.
I think modge podge is the best thing ever!!!

A day in the life of my kitty

This is my kitty Bella.
She has a thing with my printer, stuffing, pens, doll bodies, thread, paper..anything on my work table. It's a wonder I get anything done. I had to make her a doll body just for her to drag around. We got her at 4 weeks old she was found under a car at my sons job.






When she first came into the house, my dog Cali wanted to eat her. Now they are best friends..how cute is this picture??
