In my first Pinnable Me Friday post, I featured this set of DIY candle holders that used old jars, twine and spray paint, and last night the girls from our small group got together and attempted this project. We decided to use the frosted glass spray paint instead of the white and I think they turned out pretty neat! Even the boys (who went to a shooting range while we had our craft night) were impressed!
Here is Ali doing a test run with the spray paint.
Christy is pregnant, so we made sure she took safety precautions while we were using the spray paint!
I had a heck of a time getting the twine to stay in place as I wrapped it around my jars, so I was a little bit skeptical about mine were going to turn out.
And finally, the finished products! This is Christy's set. She's an interior designer, so she got all creative with her bows...
And Ali's set...
And my set...
We grouped them all together and decided they make the biggest statement when there are more than three. I will probably display mine at Christmas so I will definitely need to make maybe eight to ten more to really create a dramatic look.
When the boys got home, we were teasing them that we had set the mood for a romantic, candlelit evening! Ha!!
We also enjoyed a few appetizers for dinner prior to our "activities" and I used another Pinterest idea, Nutella Fruit Dip, which I posted here.
All I did was mix 1 cup of non-fat Greek yogurt with about a half a jar of Nutella and let it chill overnight. Then, I served it with fresh fruit and Angel Food cake. It was delicious and a definite keeper!
Happy Friday and Happy Pinning!
