Parden my absence lately; I've been sickly with sore throat, stuffy nose, and fever (complete with chills and aches!). I'm usually about due with one of these episodes around this time of year, so I'd rather get it done with now than have it during a time when I actually need to be feeling at my best.
Last week I finished a DIY project to decorate our bathroom with. I made two of these bathroom stands (and actually I did one a few months ago that I had been using but it had glitter on it and that just doesn't go with Robert's razor and his retainer-ha!), and it's really so easy and cheap! I found the idea on Pinterest aka the Land of the Awesome!
To Begin with, you'll need:
1. Plate (I picked one that had a lot of flat space so things would be level on there)
2. Candle Stand
3. Paint (which I already had-about $1 at Michael's)
4. Painting Utensil
5. Glue of some sort to glue the candle stick to the bottom of the plate (I used Gorilla Glue that we already had)
*I bought the plate and candle stand at Dollar Tree. Told ya it was cheap!
It will probably take at least 2 coats of paint depending on how much color you want peeking through. Robert wasn't a fan of the red peeking through, so I did 2 coats to completely cover the red. So it doesn't really matter what color plate you're needing if this is the case.
After one coat on each. I kept my brush strokes the same and all meeting in the center to make it look some what even on all sides:
Here's what it looks like after 2 coats of paint and gluing. I let the paint sit over night before I glued the bottom part on:
2 Coats of paint should get complete coverage. It's enough to where the main color is the paint color, but also get a hint of color from the plate as well.
Ta da! Feel free to put whatever you want on these! I put my perfume on it, and the one on Robert's side has his little knick knacks that he has next to his sink (think razor/trimmer, retainers, etc.) or can be used to put whatever you want!
Easy peezy lemon squeezy!
