"Upcycling"

It's been a seriously busy day today but I still managed to get a cute craft done!

One fact about me- I love to entertain! Not just put out some cheese and crackers but I love going all out with tapas and pretty little appetizers to nosh on. I have many beautiful plates and servers to add to the effect I want to create for each gathering. I get a huge sense of pride out my efforts...

Well, I had a pair of plates I had gotten from a thrift store (both for $1) that didn't match any of my other plates and a random pair of candle sticks. In all honesty, I think I had an urge to super glue something this afternon! A lightbulb went off in my busy mind and I knew exactly what I was going to do with these random objects... Upcycle them!

So anyways- I super glued a candle stick to the bottom of each plate to create a pedestal for it. Hokas Pokas! New adorable cake plates! They can be used separately or stacked together for a tiered effect. But I thought they were fun and share worthy...

A Creative Solution



So, I found this really cute set of tea cups and saucers...total bargain of a deal (4 sets for $16!)  and I thought they would make really adorable coat hooks for my front hall.  Like I mentioned in yesterday's post I am on a mission to organize! ( you can catch up on Yesterday's Post here ) 

Here's is how I went about creating these new teacup coat hooks!


You have to love Krazy Glue!



I had my fingers crossed this crazy idea would work... seeing as it was being held together with Krazy Glue and a prayer!


But look how cute they turned out!
  And it looks awesome with my brand new bench for the front hall!

I am on my way to gaining control of this chaos for sure... and the house looks cuter and cuter with each project I take on!  Have to love it!
