Rusty bread tin votive holder

While cleaning the kitchen I came across a rusty bread tin that I didn't want to throw away. . .
I hot glued a metal star in the top left corner and a raffia and homespun bow. Then I used a drywall screw and screwed it into the metal in the.center (sort of) on the top for hanging. I put a piece of scrap wood under the tin so I wouldn't
go through my dining room table. I hung it on the wall in the kitchen with a votive holder.

Silver votive/tealight holder


2 minute gift idea!
Someone had given me different sized mason jars but they had no covers so I thought making them into candle holders would be a good idea.
I had some metallic silver spray paint around. I tipped the jars upside down on some cardboard outside and I'm sure the neighbors thought I was crazy since it was about 9:00pm and 40 degrees. It was dark so the paint didn't come out even but I think it looks better, adds character. Once they dried I tied some raffia around the top and threw a tealight in.

Lavender Salt Scrub


Olive oil
Epsom Salt
food coloring
lavender essential oil
dried lavender sprinkled on top
tied with raffia with a tag:
"Use in bath or shower 1-2 times per week to exfoliate and moisturize"

Pam, don't look. . .


Scrappy Wreath made with items around the house

Fabric scraps in a few colors
Old wire hanger
Raffia

1. Bend the wire hanger into a circle, it doesn't have to be perfect. The fabric will hide imperfections.
2. Cut or tear the fabric strips about 5 inches by 1/4-1 inch wide. The scrappier the better.
3. Tie each strip on the hanger, knotting once. As you tie on, keep sliding them close together and turning them different ways so it looks less uniform.
4. On the top side tie about 5 strands of raffia into a bow.

LOVE IT!
