Pinterest Interest, Dollar Bin Pins

Candle Sticks: not just for wax and wicks. Candle sticks are versatile in many uses and can add your DIY projects.

Vanity Storage: Purchase a feminine looking plate set, one small one big. Use PLASTIC plates so that the glue adheres to the surfaces. place the larger plate on the bottom. Glue the candle stick base to the plate. BEFORE gluing, use a ruler or protractor to find the center and mark where your candle stick should go.Let glue dry before adding top tier plate.

Dessert Tier: Same steps as before, but add on another tier. For this craft I went a little different with plate selection. Three different sizes were a little more hard to find. Target had a wonderful selection on CLEARANCE. I tried to mix three colors, textures and sizes that all go together. Click Here for the PIN

Mason Jars: Get these at the DOLLAR STORE! Dollar Tree and Dollar General have them in different colors, sizes and with a handle or no handle. For Function I would do get the clear Kerr jars with a top that can pull a part. Click Here for the PIN

Girl Gift: Seriously I use this gift idea for everything! Michael s has FANTASTIC items to go in the bag. USE A COUPON to shop at the store and get things on discount. Here is what I include in the gift: Hand Soap, Hand Sanitizer, Sleep Mask, Manicure/Pedicure set, Hand Lotion and a special addition. These make great bridesmaid, new mom, bachelorette, best friend, birthday, mother's day and get well gifts. Stock up on the staple items when they go on sale!

Decor
Go to the dollar bin or dollar store to find: table clothes, center pieces, streamers, festive vases, unique touches AND Balloons!
The party I throw every year is a Crawfish Boil!
