Reuse old plates
I should've taken a picture to start off with but it was a blue rimmed plate... I just used a bit of white craft paint to prime it.
These I made using the free stencil from http://thecsiproject.com/2010/05/18/jens-quatrefoil-paint-projects-free-printable-stencil/ <--- Clickie it if you wanna see!!

Finished the jewelery holder plus one :)
I finally finished her, using my fab little printed out stencil (it's dead now I need to make a new one :( ) and some silver paint (that doesn't photograph well) I made her pretty!
(I also need to figure out how to not have the date on the bottom of my pics, I am too lazy to put the date in each time)
Here she is all done up!
And my latest project; the dishtab tin! You know those Electrosol Dish tabs? I got some awhile back in a nifty (kinda ugly) metal tin that had the jetsons on it. Not very me. So I spraypainted.
and then used my stencil and more silver paint... (this was the project that killed my stencil :( )
(I'll take a better pic later but I cleaned up the running bits coz I'm a perfectionist like that)
And I am linking to my VERY FIRST PARTY!!!
Till next post!

I ♥ Goodwill
But it was a lot of money for a candle holder in my opinion. So I didn't get it.
Fast forward to today, I went to Goodwill, with the hopes of finding some baskets for under my coffee table. I actually found some, too bad this grumpy older man went all snarling caveman on me and said that he was "looking" at them *insert eyeroll* so I walked away, next aisle I see some stuff on the bottom shelf, I stoop down and there it was.
My candle holder.
$4.99
All the crystals still attached, looks brand new.
Yeah. It's mine now. And I am linking to Southern Hospitality's Thrifty finds party!
