A Sunday morning project

I've been in a creative mood lately and decided to add some fu-fu-ness to this wrought iron candle holder/ plant stand. I just love the ruffled edges, don't you?
Here's what it looks like with some candles.


It looks fine as is but I wanted to add some deepness to where the candles would go. I looked around the craft/computer room and found some brown shredded grass, so I added it to each ruffled holder.


Kinda like creating a nest to where the candles will go.



So, I gathered three candles

I decided to add some chicness to each one. I found some lace, cut three pieces

wrapped the lace around the candles and secured the lace to the candle with a straight pin. I thought the candles would look even better with some bling, so I got out some of my vintage jewelry pieces.



Oh, which ones should I use, love them all!



a tough decison had to be made.




I selected three vintage clip on earrings and attached the earrings onto the lace. I picked this one,


and two of these.



This is what she looks like now.


A closer look. This is the top candle,



and these are the candles on each side.


A fast and easy way to dress up some candles.


Make it a great day, Janice:))

Wow Janice! I never would have thought of something so creative. I would have stopped with the "nest"! The lace and clip on earrings made it beautifully shabby chic and feminine! Love your style!
