Many blogs ago, I jumped on the DIY bandwagon and created a cloche out of a cheese dome and candle stick. Every thrifty crafter/decorator was making these and it was all the rage.
It's still the rage to save money and beautify your home. So here is how I did it:
Putting it together was pretty easy with the help of Gorilla Glue and painters tape. Spray paint made it even easier, I used Rustoleum's Oil Rubbed Bronze or ORB as it's known in the crafting world.
The result was outstanding and the cost was minimal. I liked this one so much, I made another one, this time painting it Heirloom White without a candlestick base.
Thanks to Allison at HOH (who made this first?) and to Sarah at Thrifty Decor Chick who showcased it along with other creative crafters.

Um, this is amazing. I love the idea!
I've had a few repainting projects that I completed recently. I now have this random wooden box that is horrible condition out in the garage. I'm almost done with making it a nice little storage box. I'm going to finish it with a very cool nob from anthropologie. :-)
well I feel dumb. I had NO IDEA that's how they made them. Do you know how long I have been looking for a "wooden pedestal cake stand?" haha. Thank you for letting me know it doesn't come that way. ;) Yours are gorgeous, by the way.
these are great ideas....thanks for visiting my blog. i love yours.
