First Project: "Easter Tree"
First I went picking up sticks in the backyard. Spray painted them white and let them dry.
I purchased these tags off of eBay. If anyone is interested in purchasing any from the seller, let me know and I can find her store. They are soooo adorable! Everything was purchased from a thrift store, accept for the tags.
I put some styrofoam....25 cents
in to the yellow pot that I had out back...free
Stuck the sticks in ....free
Added purple paper grass....50 cents
Added a bag of hanging glitter eggs... $1.00,
and lastly... I added the tags above...$4.00, but switched out the string for fibers and ribbon.
Total Cost: ....priceless......no, really $5.75
This is the finished project.
It makes me smile.
Second Project: "Paris Tealight Candle Lamp"
I spray painted this bronze tealight holder black.... thrift shop find....$1.00. (Ignore red paint and cup holder for now.)
Let dry. I then added a tealight candle and this "Paris" light dome which was also a TF (Thrift Find)....$1.00.
Total project cost: $2.00!
Going in daughters black/white and pink bedroom.
See picture above for spray painting this wood cup holder red.....TF $2.00.
Add these vintage decals around the bottom of the cup holder....I have been collecting these decals for a few years. I would say they were .25 cents each.
Finished project.
Total project cost: $2.75.
Forth Project: "Cake Platter/Misc.Platter"
I used one of these egg cups....TF .25 cents and
this plate .....$1.00. (photo from Thrifty Finds from last weeks post.)
Centered the egg cup onto the bottom of the plate with "E600" glue. (The best glue!)
I have seen this project on another blog but I cannot think of the name at this moment....
Total Cost of Project: $1.25!
Going on shelf in china cabinet for now.

my word! woman! aren't you creative??! so lovely you share those projects too.
next time i pass a cup holder, i'll think twice, i will, for i'm forever wondering how to put all those beaded bracelets away, without having 'em tangled up all of the time... also the platter looks delish!
hooray for clever brains and handy hands!!!!
