Office Nic-Naks for $4.50

Now that I have a new job I have less time to blog.

But now I have an office and it needs some love. So of course I went to Marshalls.

I bought 2 candles for $1.50 each on clearance. They are a nice cream color that goes with the colors in my office and it has a wood grain effect to them.

I got my new silhouette on Wednesday and I've been figuring everything out. This is one of my first "real" and "successful" projects. 

I just used some white computer paper that I had to cut out a design. Then I used some clear contact paper that I had to secure it around the candle. I think it turned out really cute. A cheap simple way to give a boring candle interest.


I also bought this cute Candle votive for $1.50 on clearance because it had a little chip on one of the "petals". I figured for a $1.50 I could put that side towards the back ;)

It was a dark brown/black color which would have gone fine with the office colors but I'm not a very "black" person. Plus everything else was white that I had in my area. So I sprayed it white. I thought it  went great with the frame that I got a few months ago ($4 at Marshalls) that I will also be taking to the office. 

I'll post a picture when I have everything set up :)
