My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday

A Dollar Store Display Vase

The Dollar Store just stocked these cool glass vases.  I grabbed an ordinary candle holder (the shorter one.)

A bit of clear silicone glue...

An exercise in patience.  Twenty four hours to dry...

Voila!  A really chic display vase. I have filled with ribbon.  This summer I will probably put my shells in there. Endless possibilities... 

It's large enough to make a statement

 

Different items can be used for the base. Cherubs would be nice. 

I'm going to make a few more to be filled with special things for gifts. Candy, shells for my friend who has a nautical theme in her bedroom,  embroidery thread for the sewer on your list, baby stuff for a shower.
