I've been wanting a pedestal cloche for my side table forever & I wanted to make my own, but I just couldn't find the right sized piece of wood.
Then one day I was wondering through Deseret Industries & I found this $.25 cookie jar lid & voila it was the perfect size!
I found all three of these items at Deseret Industries. The glass dome was $2, the candle holder was $.50 & the cookie jar lid was $.25.
First I took the handle off of the cookie jar lid & then I spray painted it and the candle holder with black spray paint.
I used wood glue to attach the two pieces & let it dry overnight.
I used wood filler to fill in the hole on top.
Then I cut a piece of cardstock to fit on top and Mod Podged it on.
Here is the finished product.
I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to decorate it with, but here's a cute little birdie for now. :)
That turned out super cute!!! I miss roaming through DI. Mine's a little bit of a drive to get to so I don't go often. Great job!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tiff!
DeleteGreat job! I just made one using a plate from Target, a candlestick and the cloche lid from the thrift store and I just love it! I think yours is brilliant with the paper mod podged to the base.
