Knockoff Nate Berkus Hurricane Vases {Feature}

I'm sure you have all figured this out by now but I absolutely LOVE candle holders. I look at them every time I go to the store! I just cant get ehough of them so it's always great when I find a good deal on them. 

It looks like Crystal over at A Pumpkin & A Princess felt the same way about these hurricane vases she found at Target but at $20 per vase, I don't blame her for passing up on them. They are pretty vases though! Here is an image of the original vases found at Target:

Instead of saying "oh well!", she did what any crafter would do and created her own version! Personally I like her version better and at less than $3 per vase, I might just have to make some of my own!! Check these beauties out:

Grass Candles

So we are doing something a little differnet this week. I usually try to post 4 times a week but since we have a holiday this coming week I'm going to be a little bit more active. I'm going to post once a day with a new idea for your easter celebration.

Day #1:

To kick things off, we have a simple project to brighten up your home for spring!

These beautiful candles are so easy to make! You can transform any candle you have into Grass Candles using just blades of grass and non-flammable, all-purpose glue! Martha Stewart will tell you more in her tutorial for these beautiful candles!

Check back each day to discover a new way to get ready for the season!

Yarn Wrapped Candle Holders

I love the little things that make a house a home. I love picture frames, toss pillows, book covers, shelves, and one of my all time favorite things in a home are the candle holders. I know its kind of silly and they are small additions to a home but they always make a room feel so warm and welcoming.

I think they can be used for any room of the house - including the garden or front porch if you consider those to be rooms. These candle holders from The Forge caught my eye right away! They are so easy to make and The Forge does has a great, easy to follow tutorial.

I love how they look warm and inviting but still look sturdy enough to be put outside to light you walkway or light up your garden.

Most of the things that I post about are DIY projects and because of that, they are pretty customizable.  These candle holders are no different! You can make whatever pattern you want to with the string and you can make them whatever color you want!

Happy crafting!
