Plate & Pumpkins

I had a bright idea the other day
(it doesn't happen very often...ha,ha,ha)

I bought this candle stand and wood plate
from DI along time ago.

They have just been sitting around my house
collecting dust,
so I decided I could put them together
and make a cake plate.

It was a fun project and didn't take very long.

I glued the stand to the bottom of the plate.

painted it black,

stained it with wood stain,

and then spray painted a clear coat over the top.

It turned out really good,
and was one of my easier projects.

I also re-did my 3 pumpkins.
(I didn't take a picture
but they were all the same color
and kind of plain)

I unleashed the Dremel tool on them,

painted them black,

then I painted them 3 different colors,

sanded, stained, and put a clear coat over the top.

I had the raffia on them before,
so I just added some wire vines on top.

It was a wonderful FALL project.
And didn't cost me a thing!
