Starfish Candlesticks

I glue-gunned starfish to my candlesticks. So simple...but it made me happy.

They used to look like this.

Now they look like this. That is all.

Here are a few other projects. Some simple. Some not.
Raising Olives ~ Rain gutter bookshelves
Living Locurto ~ Lots of FREE downloads!
Complete Organizing Solutions ~ Paint can cubbies
The Magic Brush ~ Teacher pails (AKA brown-nosing buckets)

~~~~~~~~~~

If you didn't get enough of me on video yesterday, here a few outtakes that didn't make it the cut...for good reason. :)

Don't forget! Tomorrow is DIY Day! Get your posts ready with those home projects, makeovers, crafts...even a great recipe counts as DIY, in my opinion. The post will go up at 10:00 PM (eastern time).

  1. The bloopers are fabulous! Makes you a "real" person like the rest of us. My personal favorite..."there's a dead bug in my paint."

  9. I love bloopers! :) What an easy and inexpensive way to dress up some candle sticks. :) I SO wish I had discovered the blogging world before I got rid of stuff I thought wasn't worth saving. ;)
