DIY Hurricane
When she was a little younger, Pinky was asked what she wanted to be when she grew up. Her answer: “I want to be a Maker like my Mama.” You know, because I make stuff. Let me show you…
So, what do you get when you add together the 3 items below???
Well, an awesomely sweet glass hurricane.
And guess how much this little project cost? Just 3 dollars. That’s right! All 3 parts are from the dollar store and are super easy to assemble with just a little hot glue. I opted to not glue the candle piece on the inside so that I can remove it when I want and use the hurricanes for other purposes, i.e. party dessert servers. And what makes it even better is that it has multi-purpose uses!
I do have one question, however. Why do these candles come with such long wicks? You can not burn them like this. Hello, fire hazard!
So what do you think? Doesn’t the hurricane look nice on my mantle?
I must confess though, that this little idea was not entirely mine, thanks to the wonderfulness that is Pinterest. Pinterest is an online pinboard community that allows you to bookmark and save photos from any webpage. It is wonderful for cataloging things that you love! If you haven’t already checked out Pinterest, you should! It is highly addictive and fun. Although, I tend to spend way too much time pinning.
