Yipee, yay, it's Friday!
This week, we came up with TADA!
solutions to answer the question,
"How can I recycle old jars?"
I've got one more idea up my sleeve:
blah: a lonely glass vase
blah: bold-colored tissue paper that were once
used as gift wrap
We're using this as inspiration: Indian block prints
from West Elm's latest collection
Trim the tissue paper to fit around the vase
{add an extra inch so we can glue the edges
together later on} and draw a pattern.
You can do this freehand or trace it from
a source. Finish with permanent ink.
TADA! Here's the red version.
A votive candle will make it glow.
Here's the blue version.
Add current design trends to your home
without spending a cent.
I think that's TADA!
Have a spectacular weekend!
they're so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sooz! Easy to make :) Have a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteLovely! And with this weather turning a bit more chilly :hopefulthinking: it adds warmth to the nights that start sooner.
ReplyDeleteWish you a lovely Friday and a fabulous weekend,

Lovely. In fact, I do have a candle holder that looks like that, back in my old room in India.
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch and sending you a big hug dear Teresa and Sachinky! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so pretty Claire..I can already imagine those sitting on my fireplace mantle!
ReplyDeleteThank you Betty dear! I want a fireplace too :)
ReplyDeleteHey Claire! Love, love, LOVE your site, as always! I get SO inspired whenever I come here! =^)
ReplyDeleteI emailed you forever ago about a place called "The Scrap Exchange" in Durham, NC. I really think you'd love it! Their website is here: http://www.scrapexchange.org/ and they have a gallery page of artists' recycled art!
As far as the India inspired votive candles go, I wanted to suggest that once you trace your pattern, you could put the paper on a scrap piece of styrofoam or a few pieces of cardboard & use an awl or other sharp object to punch holes into the design that the candlelight would show through! =^)
Thanks again for all you do!!
