After all my freezer cooking today, I needed a creative break. I have been wanting something pretty for my bathroom so I can organize all my stuff.
See, here's the problem - a mess. And when I plug in my hairdryer or curling iron, everything gets knocked over. I wanted something to hold it all but didn't really want a tray; I have plenty of those.
I hit the thrift store and scored this nice white plate with gold accent stripes for 50 cents. I found this ceramic candlestick for $1.00. Not pretty yet but just wait!
I used glossy spray paint to paint the candlestick black and sprinkled a little black glitter on it while it was still wet. Not really for sparkle but texture. While that was drying, I used my metallic Sharpies to embellish the dish a little. I chose swirlies and flowers in silver, gold and copper. The next step is to glue it together. I used my heavy duty hot glue gun. I turned the plate over and placed the candlestick in the center. I drew around it with a Sharpie so I would know exactly where to place it when I had the hot glue on it.
Now to clean off the bathroom counter and see how it looks in its new home. I'm loving it and want to make another one, slightly shorter, for all my skin care bottles.
And there it is! My little beauty corner. It's coming together nicely. I can just see a little trio of these. I'll have to hit up the thrift store again or see what I've got lying around the house!
Be blessed!
