Cloche

Okay, so all over blogland are people are creating cloches. I really liked the look of them and just hadn't seen one that I liked to buy or found any suitable materials to make one. Today, that all changed. I was headed up to the Ranch Market to get produce and decided to randomly stop at the St. Vincent in AJ. Totally scetch, but well worth it. I then finished out my project with items from my favorite store...Hobby Lobby. Here is a step by step of my cloche project.

This is the before candle holder, which was 1/2 off.


This is the paper mache egg and the mini wreathes 1/2 off too, so whatever 1/6 of $1.77 is and then 1/2 of that. Roughly $.15. Big Smile!


This is the $4 cheese plate and lid I scored from St. V's.


This is the other candle holder from Hobb's that I got for $1 because it was...1/2 off , that's right! With the fabulous moss stuff that I love.


This is what the candle holder looked like after I spray painted it. Love spray paint!


I adore this Krylon Gloss spray paint in Ivory! It sprays on just about anything and has a glossy finish, so it looks like poly without having to poly anything. Plus, it dries in under 10 minutes.


Ta-da! Here is the finished product and I have to say, that I don't like the color the egg turned out and will fix it later, but overall a success!

VERY nice.

I hope Spokane gets a Hobby Lobby someday. I miss it when I'm away from Chattanooga. I could spend hours there.
