Next, I have a quick little tutorial on adding a wee bit more to a project. Remember these wedding items I posted about a few weeks ago?
The champagne glasses in particular?
Well, I wanted to make the bride and groom glasses a wee bit more unique, so I had my daughter pick out her two favorites. Once she had selected them, I added a bit to them. First, I found these awesome brass filigree charms half off at Hobby Lobby (reg price $2.99 for a package of 4, sale price $1.50 for a package of 4). I took two, turned them on a diagonal so they were diamond shaped, and slightly bent them in a rounded shape so they fit the glasses. It was super easy, I gently used my hands to shpe them, then curved them a bit more by using the edge of a table. You can see my supplies here ~
After I had the brass medallions curved, I laid the glasses down and glued the brass embellie to them (make sur eyou use a good strong glue, Helmar makes FABULOUS glues)~
I found the cute little Bride and Groom charms in a wedding area of Hobby Lobby, they were only $2.99 regular price, but on sale for half off ($1.50). They were strung on a little tiny circle of wire designed to go around the base of a wine or champagne glass. I wanted them to be a bit more of a focal piece, so I glued them on top of the medallion (centered) ~
Since there was a little hole where they were hung, I decided to use some sparkly little crystals to cover the hole. I tried orange, didn't like it, then brown, still didn't like it, and then tried goldish brown. Loved it!
Here they are, all jazzed up and ready to use ~
One final pic I want to show you. Here are some glass vases I got at that huge US 12 garage sale ~
They were soooooooooooo inexpensive, YAY! Better yet, I got them for half off the sticker price, since I bought them at one of the last places we stopped at. It was the final day, and it was looking like rain soon, so everything was half off. WOOOO HOOO!!! Wait till you see what I am going to do with them. :) I'll share that next week, along with several other wedding projects. Till then, don't forget to check out my Guest Artist Post, hope you have a fantastic week, and happy crafting! ~ Pam
