Holiday Cloche

Here's another great (great=cheap) quick project that can easily be transformed for each holiday.

I found these beauties at our local consignment shop for a whopping total of $3.50.

I started by pulling the legs off of the cheese plate with a pair of needle nosed pliers (sounds painful, I know)



Then I painted my mini urn and the cheese plate black and sanded them to give them that distressed look that would eventually occur in my house if I didn't start it out like that anyways. Then I glued the two pieces together with Locktite epoxy.



Ready to be stuffed with holiday!



This was our harvest cloche



I spruced it up even more for Christmas. I placed it in a tray (which I already owned) and bunched up  some red place mats. Then I wrapped some garland around the bottom and stuck some ornaments inside.



               Don't ask me how to pronounce it, but I am linking this little ditty up
to the Holiday Cloche Party @ A Stroll Thru Life

  3. Great project - I have made a handful of cloches from super great finds at my local Goodwill! I love it when you can make something so great for such a great price.
