Dollar Store Craft

You will want to run to the nearest Dollar store after you see this craft!  It was the easiest project but the payoff was Huge!  You will need Candle Stick Holders, E6000 Glue, and Clear Cylinders--the cylinders and candle sticks came from the Dollar store but the glue had to be purchased at Michael's.  This whole project cost about $10.00. 

Candle Sticks and Glass Cylinders

I wanted to fill my jars with beans and peas but you could just

put some candles  in them or fill with coffee beans, flowers, etc.  Many uses!

I couldn't photograph and glue at the same time but you take your E4000 glue

 and spread it around the rim of the candle stick (the small end).

  Turn your glass upside down and stick the candle stick in the center of the glass. 

The glue will allow you to slide it around a little so you can get it right in the center. Take a paper towel and wipe the excess glue off.

I stacked books and the bags of beans on top of them

and let them dry overnight.

Here are the ones I did that are graduating sizes.

Here are the four I did that are all the same size.

Get ready to pour in the beans.

Just a few spilled beans--it was inevitable I guess.

Here are the three different sizes filled up with the beans. 

Notice my blue Gurgling Fish Pitcher?  Love!  It is a great conversation piece.

It's ok, you don't have to tell me how great these look

Three of the same size across the dining room table.

Now, grab your keys and run to the nearest Dollar Store.
