Hi sweet and wonderful girlies...And, welcome to Pink Saturday, hosted by dear Beverly over at www.howsweetthesound.typepad.comOh yes! You'll want to head right on over to see all of the other pretty pinks.
And now.......without further ado!......THE TUTORIAL!
This is such an easy little project....I do love something quick and satisfying!
If you don't have some sort of metal candlestick around the house, just zip on over to your handy, dandy thrift store and pick up something cute....this one is from Partylite....and was only$2.99, I think! That little top gizmo just screwed right off. You'll also need a nice, clear punch cup. I think mine was about 49 cents....two prisms, about a yard of pink (or whatever color you fancy!!) seam binding. This is Midori's ballerina pink. It's my FAV!!
I had some old 527 glue out in my stash, and that seemed to work quite well....and a little tealight of your choice.
I got my prisms at Lowe's or Home Depot. I think they were about $1.00 each....gotta love some sparkle! Now, glue that little cup on top of your painted candlestick....seeee! I SAID it was going to be ever so simple!......let that cure overnight. Tie the bow onto the handle and attach the little prisms on the ends of the ribbons...........YAY! Finished
And, pretty darn cute, don't you think??? I have made several of these before....but I painted the bases in black.....so cute with the pale pink ribbon.......but, hey! Whatever makes you smile!Please come by and tell me you've finished your ever so simple, little candlestick! I want to see it! :-)
I am getting very close to my 100th post so I'll be saving this for my little giveaway. Oh yes...I have some fun things planned! You'll want to come back over the next few weeks to check on that little upcoming event! :-) Oh yes.......I AM a tease! Let me just say, it will all be PINK!! :-)
God bless all of you!
You mean so much to me.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Don't forget to come back for the 100th post giveaway.....COMING SOON!!

PS........Daughter crash update: DD got an attorney today. It was just too stressful for her to try to do it all herself. She's a bit of a worrier....could she have gotten that from me?......NAHHHH.... She's decided to have the work done on the car, then trade it in on something else. Apparently she has something in her auto policy called diminished value. The insurance company will pay her the difference between the wrecked value and the pre-wreck value.....gotta love that!
Thank you soooo much for all of your concern and good tips!
