Inspiration







Where do yo get your inspiration? I got the inspiration to make these pedestals from the most talented Holly at http://hollydoodledesigns.com. The pedestals she made are so gorgeous, go check them out. I decided to do my own spin on them~ I used sheet music and an old attendance certificate of my Grandads. They are so easy to assemble. All you need are paper mache boxes, candle sticks, wood bases and some acrylic paint. Simply use a glue gun to attach the already painted wood pieces to the paper mache lid. When securely attached start your embellishing. They are not intended for food use, but add a punch to my buffet table in the dining room
I have two other super talented ladies that have inspired me to create two fun projects, check back next week for the finished projects.
