{Craft} $7 Fall Candle Centerpiece

Hi Y'all! The crafty bug bit me again! Meet my new Fall Pretties

I got up this morning and hit the Dollar Tree for inspiration and supplies for my new craft.  On my way home I stopped and picked up some things for a homeless man. I'll tell you more about that later. Right now I will stick to this project...


Here's what I bought:  {$7}
- 2 Large Hurricane Vases {$1 each}
- 2 White Glass Jar Candles {$1 each}
- 2 Candle Holders {brown} {$1 each}
- 1 Bag Moss {I chose bag with mixes of browns and greens} {$1}

WHAT TO DO
* Begin by hot gluing the bottom of the hurricane vase to the candle holder. {Simple}
* Sit the White Glass Jar Candle into the Hurricane Vase. {Simple}
* Pull some of the moss out of the bag and stuff around the Jar Candle. {I used a butter knife to poke it to the bottom. 
* Trim the wick on the candles and you are all done. 
Can you imagine the possibilities of this project?

All seasons and all holidays! I'm already dreaming about my Christmas Version!

That is such an adorable craft!!!! I really need to start accessing our Dollar Tree more often! You've got some cute stuff!

You're also assuming that using the hot glue gun is "simple". Not exactly. Well, for me anyway. I always end up walking away with some kind of injury.
