A very long time ago I made a bunch of these little pedestals by gluing a small plate to a glass candle stick.
I gave most of them away but kept this one for myself. I used it for holding jewelry on my dresser or once I even put candy on it for some family get together. Anyway, I saw a cute craft idea on Pinterest and thought I would finally get this out of the storage box it's been sitting in and try to make something similar.
I got this fabric pumpkin at W@lmart,
And these silk flowers at the dollar store.
Then I painted the dish black.
Added a little brown because I thought the black was too harsh.
I cut down the stems of all the silk flowers and leaves and arranged them all around a piece of green styrofoam.
I think it came out pretty good and will make a nice centerpiece for our table whenever I decide to give in and decorate for Fall!
In other news, the boys started school yesterday.
Their teachers took these pictures and sent them to Shauna.
It's going to be a great school year for them!
That's all for now. See you the next time and thanks for stopping by!
I like your pedestal. I made one - I might have to update it. I haven't even started hauling things out yet. Aww the boys are so cute. That was nice of the teacher to do that.
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet school pictures!! And your centerpiece is so pretty, and creative!! My daughter-in-law made one of these pedestals a long time ago, and gave it to me. In no time at all it came apart. so you did something much better.
ReplyDeleteYour craft idea is wonderful. So simple and so beautiful And the boys...just adorable.

You did a great job on the fall arrangement. Really good. Looks like a piece from a florist. Sweet looking little grandsons. Bet they are proud of going back to school.
ReplyDeleteI love this. It looks awesome on your table. Wishing your cute grands a wonderful school year!!

ReplyDeleteThe fall centerpiece looks great! I can't wait for fall to get here...it usually shows up in late November. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe boys are adorable and I hope they have the best school year.
Darling decoration, and so clever! Erica saw something similar where you glue a basket to a candlestick pedestal that you have painted black, then use a stove element cover-thingy as a lid for the basket after you have glued a knob on top for a handle. I hope she really does it because it looks adorable in the video she sent me. But of course a baby is coming in less than two weeks so we shall see. Max and Levi are so cute it makes me want to cry. I know how proud you are. xoxo
