These are just plain metal sconces that we embellished to hold flowers at the reception. I removed the embellishments and then gave it a coat of spray paint. I used Krylon Cover Maxx in Blue Ocean Breeze/Gloss.
I hot glued strips of burlap to the top and bottom and added a lace overlay. I didn’t like how the bottom of the burlap looked on the top part, so I added a small piece of ribbon.
I added loops of lace to the center of the sconce with hot glue, then made a silk flower and added a rolled burlap rosette with a pearl head pin.
I found the flowers at JoAnns and of course, used a coupon. Does anyone shop at craft stores without a coupon? No! The total cost for the flowers was $6.00.
For now, I’ve placed this in one of our guest bedrooms that has blue/peach decor.

May 4, 2015 at 9:52 amThank you, Laurie! I need to find a use for the rest of them! Maybe they will come in handy for some 4th of July decor.

May 4, 2015 at 6:14 pmThat sounds like an interesting idea using them for 4th of july! Maybe a star bouquet instead of flowers . . . can’t wait to see what you come up with!

May 4, 2015 at 7:37 pmThat’s a good idea! I’ll have to watch for the sales to begin on patriotic craft materials! I’m sure it won’t be long.
