Post #2 - Remake of $ Tree products

Hello & Happy Wednesday Everyone!

I'm back with another Make-over of

$ tree products again... it was another video

that had me going... HECK YES! I want to make it!

I created the Stand and remade over that Lantern -

The Green pumpkin is from the $ Tree as well...

and the Wooden Leaf I had in my stash of wood projects

for about 2 years now that I finally made over - 

Let's start with the Stand since I used several

items from the $ tree -

1 Glass Candleholder, 1 pk. of burner covers,

1 Halloween lantern, 1 pk of cutting mats,

1 nautical rope, 1 orange pumpkin, 1 pack of fall Raffia

The Candleholder was covered with 2 toilet paper rolls and

trimmed down to fit flush with the top of the candleholder then

I glued the orange pumpkin upside down into the

glass candle holder making it secure -

Then I used a hot glue gun and wrapped the rope around the bottom base

I sanded then spray painted 1 of the burner covers after it was dry I

attached it to the pumpkin bottom and now I have a Stand!

The Lantern top was opened and I removed the orange Halloween

design, I used it as a template - I took one of the clear

chopping mats and traced the design then cut it out of the clear mat

I made sure it fit and trimmed where it was needed -

I put that to the side and added some painters tape around

the candle that's attached inside the lantern - I didn't want that painted -

Then I bought a can of Rust-Oleum Hammered Brown Spray paint

and sprayed the lantern... it took only a few minutes & drying time was pretty

fast as well - I then put the new clear inside piece back into the lantern and

closed it up, made sure it still lit up and it did then I added

some Fall Raffia around the top and hot glued an acorn as well -

It looks like metal and not plastic which is so cool!

The Wooden leaf was spray painted as well then I found
some old Stampin' Up Designer paper that I traced
out of the leaf, cut it to size then Mod Podged it
right to the leaf - I sanded the edges then inked the
edges a bit and I thought about adding a sentiment to
the leaf, but like how it looks right now - 

This really did turn out so nice and I like the look of it -


Have a FABULOUS DAY!!
