Project Difficulty Level: CBE/TTRWAFD meaning~ Couldn't Be Easier/ Turned the Right Way And Found Dome
This is as easy as it gets. I found this dome with the flat place on the bottom {see last picture below} at a local thrift for $1.
I had the curtain rod end piece in my stash of junky stuff.
Used E6000 to glue them together.
I wanted it to be whimsical so the finial is kind of big for the dome.
I made the pedestal using this tutorial.
Here is another easy to do tutorial for making a cloche with stuff from the thrift and things around the house.
Love it - so colorful! Immediately made me look at the calendar to see when Easter is this year!
ReplyDeleteOh now you know that I just love it. What a fun and pretty cloche. I always get so inspired when I see such pretty things. This looks just gorgeous. Hugs, Marty

ReplyDeleteI just became a follower, I would love it if you checked out my blog www.remodelaholic.com
SO cute! I really like the oversized finial it works perfectly with the tall dome. For me I would add a vintage piece of tinsel to the top for Easter, but that's just me I am a tinsel girl... I also REALLY LOVED your pedestal cloche!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Tammy

ReplyDeleteI love how you just whip this stuff up out of seemingly random things. The easter eggs are a great touch!
ReplyDeleteHow clever and so cute! I just happen to have a few of those curtain rod finials in my "I am saving these but don't know what the heck for" box. Guess I now have an idea what to do with a couple of them!
