~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am gonna brag on my 4 kiddos for a minute. All four have been asked to model for a fashion show, here on the boardwalk. It’s funny because it is getting cooler but it is beautiful weather, not cold at all. It’s been in the 70s. and the kids aren’t too sure about having to wear sweatshirts. It is this coming weekend.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am so thrilled with how my hand made cloche and pedastalled vase came out.
I had picked this up a few months ago at a thrift store and thought if I take it apart
I could make that into a cool cloche. I picked up a knob but there was too much space on the top of it.
I could make that into a cool cloche. I picked up a knob but there was too much space on the top of it.
The other day I was at JoAnn’s and picked up a bag of wooden spools.
I sawed a piece off and painted it, then glued it on with some Gorilla Glue.
Then I added the knob
I taped it down while it set up and dried.
Then I painted it, did a little sanding
and here is how she came out.
Now I just need to find something for it to sit on–I love how it came out
Then I glued 2 more spools together, and taped them while they dried.
So then I Gorilla Glued them to the old base, it couldn’t have fit more perfectly.
I painted them
It needs a little something–doesn’t it
I hot glued the beads on then added Gorilla Glue from the underneath side.
then I started going over it with more paint
After cutting a piece of wood and adding to the top fir a platform— here is how it came out.
I LOVE IT TOO

Fun idea Cheri! Thank-you for leading with your parties!
Very pretty!

Wow, I need to make a cloche or find one, one of these days! Nice cool job!!
FABULOUS! I LOVE IT!
What a creative imagination. I don't think it is just luck those spools fit I think it is an experienced crafter who knows what to do. Brava.
Cheri,
You did good, with both projects!!! Isn't it fun to take junk and make something from it?
Thanks for stopping by and for your wonderful comments. Talk to you soon.
Sandy
Great Job! Very artsy too! Cindy
Oh how smart you are. I love your gorgeous wire cloche. I can't wait to see it decorated for the "Holiday Cloche Party" on Dec. 4th. I know it will be stunning. The gorgeous hurricane is perfect for the party too. I love your ideas and your creativity. Hugs, Marty
great idea..I did a homemade cloche also for met monday! lol
Nice job and clever idea. Look forward to your parties.
Oh, my Cheri! You're amazing! I love how your cloche turned out. You had such vision to see all these things and how they could look.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
Nice! Love your ingenuity!
You are the ultimate crafty one! My brain just does not work "out of the box" like that. Love the cloche and the vase!
Oh that's such a GREAT idea!! I'm going to have to try that!!
I'm having a "Love the Pie" Party – if you have a pie recipe I'd love for you to link up, or you can just leave one in the comments!!

Love, love, LOVE these ideas! Can't wait to see what you put under that pretty cloche!!! Oh Girl, you're going to have to join up with Marty's Cloche Party coming up in Dec.!

Cheri how cute is this…awesome job my friend…I think maybe I'll do your tassel party on tuesday…as i have a few I have made and would love to show…thanks girl…Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
Hi Cheri!
What a great redo! love it! I feel some spin-off ideas twirling around in my head! LOL
Totally awesome! I love what you did to both of those pieces!!! You got the "creative gene."
Oh its so pretty!
Cheri, I had to laugh, with all of us bloggers buying Gorilla glue and spray paint…we should buy stock in those companies! They've got to be making money because of us!
I love what you have done. How fun to put these things together. I love the cloche you made. Today I'm headed to the thrift store to find some goodies to (Gorilla) glue together. Hubby is forever asking what I'm gluing together today! hahaha. Anyhow, this is loads of fun!
Have an incredible day!
Blessings,
Debbie

Ok, what a great cloche! that would look so cool outside! (and so much kid friendlier than a glass one!!) I don't know how I missed this last night, you know I always link up, must have been a brain fart!

Hi Cheri,
I found the wooden crate @ a estate sale for a buck! There must have been 50 of them and now I could kick myself for not buying more of them! HAGD, Cindy
Your cloches turned out so beautifully, Cheri! You have so many talents…Christine
What a clever idea for a cloche! You are amazing! Thank you so much for visiting my blog. I can't wait to take a peek at your other posts.

Both turned out terrific! I'm gleaning so many good ideas for homemade (and therefore unique and original) cloches. I can't wait to get started making some myself :o) Thanks for hosting, and for linking up to my first link party!
peace.
