Fancy decor for a couple of bucks!

Want some fancy decor? Hit up Goodwill!

Materials:
Hurricane (found at Goodwill! You can buy a new one but they're usually at least a couple more bucks)
Candlestick (again, found it at Goodwill for a buck!)
Rubber bands
Spray paint
Epoxy

So I got a little exited and started working on this before I took pictures. And I probably completed my steps in the wrong order. I epoxied the hurricane onto the candlestick first. I would wait to the end. :/ Sorry!

So the hurricane I used was similar to this one. You
can use any candlestick you find too.

Add the rubber bands randomly or create a pattern.

Spray paint the hurricane in a color of your choosing.

Let the paint dry and careful peel off your
rubber bands. If you have a light coating the
paint will scratch off so be careful!

I squeezed some epoxy around the top of the
candle stick and let dry.

Grab a candle and enjoy your cheap decor!

Engagement 'Announcement'

I wanted a way to remember my engagement. With a few items I came up with a cute idea.

It started with a cute engagement card and the ribbon from
the ring box. I grabbed a frame (found it at Goodwill for a
buck!) and some scrapbook paper.

I love this card!

Cut my scrapbook paper down to the correct size

I had some spray paint laying around (I believe the color
was Almond). I wasn't too worried about getting a good,
even coat. 1. It was cold out. 2. I wanted a rough look.

Sanded down parts of the frame to expose the wood

I cut down the card and added the date of our engagement

Punched two holes at the top for the ribbon

Tied a bow... which I found is not a strong skill of mine

Add in the frame. I used some double sided tape to hold up
both the bow and the tails so they didn't fall into the writing

Now we'll have something to remember our engagement!
