Vintage Ladle Candle Holder

It couldn't have been easier... When I found this vintage soup ladle in a pile of junk I salvaged, I knew right away it had to be a container for something...

Finding a stained board on that same trip was just proof that this ladle was meant to be proudly hung and repurposed into something great.

I bent the ladle so it was at a right angle with the board then drilled a hole and screwed the handle securely to the board. The hook at the top hung right over the board.
And that was it... I dropped in a candle and it was good to go! Perfect in a farmhouse kitchen or remove the candle and use the cup to hold your keys. Perfect for where ever you may need a little catch all.
Stop by the Homeroad.net blog to see the finished product and all the details on this project.

I love antique kitchenware, but you often see nice deep ladles like that. Great job, Susan!

The Naughty Lady...

In order to jump right into the project we will skip the part about having to drink the entire bottle of wine in order to get the right shape bottle. We will also skip the part about how to decoupage the bottle with napkins as there are plenty of tutorials covering that part of the project - except to say that I used my "Mom Podge" to do the decoupage (Link at bottom of project).

Make a Serving Tray From a Photo Frame

Repurposing items is one of my favorite things to do, along with entertaining. I'm always looking for serving trays that are nice enough to stay out on my coffee table even after all of the guests have left. With this project, you can customize it exactly how you want and save money at the same time, by using an inexpensive photo frame for the base.

Baking Tin Herb Planter

I like to collect baking tins…. Large ones, small ones, round ones, square ones, pastry ones. I like them all and I’ve built up quite the collection this past year.But here’s where it gets super weird. I don’t bake. I can’t bake. So instead I decided to do something else with my collection of baking tins.

Tire Planter for the Winter Season

Some of the most common things can make beautiful additions to your outdoor winter decor. Easy to make and will not break the bank to create. All you need is an old tire. You may have some and if you don't any garage will gladly give you used ones for free.

$40 Fireplace Update

Are you wanting to refresh your living room space for cheap?! Here's the project for you! We’ve had this broken, cheesy electric fireplace for too long and the wife and I wanted something more appealing for the holidays. We totally made it over in a few simple steps. Here’s what I did for about $40!

A-Frame Ladder Alternative Christmas Tree

Around this time of year, it's become a tradition to come up with an alternative Christmas tree idea. This year is no exception!The inspiration for this year's tree is from a visit to Epcot at Walt Disney World. Steph took the boat ride in the Land Pavilion and saw their version of a ladder tree, which became the model for ours. Take a look at how it came together!

Summer Lights Hanging Candle Holders

We love to get crafty with our garden decor. And even better if we can do it with finds from the dollar store!
We found these hurricane candle holders for $1 each and decided they'd be perfect hanging outside.

The Halloween Candle Holder and the Boo-Hoo-Hoo Stones

If you are in the mood for creating an easy Halloween decoration on a budget, here’s one great idea that might be useful for you!
It started with a few rocks, then a tea candle has been added, and I got the funniest Halloween candle holder for free.

Rustic Barn Wood Tea Light Candle Holders

We just finished up our reclaimed barn wood farmhouse table and had some left over chunks of the wood slab. I wanted to be able to use every last bit so I decided to make rustic reclaimed barn wood tea light candle holders. That description is quite a mouth full, I apologize for that.

Mason Jar Citronella Candle Holders

I like to use mason jars to hold citronella tea light candles at our outdoor seating area. It helps to keep the mosquitos away and looks decorative at the same time. I just fill the bottom of the jars with small pebbles or beach sand, drop in a candle and wrap some twine around the neck of the jar.

Scented Jack O Lantern Tea Lights

I really do love the smell of citrus and allspice. So I found a way to combine the Halloween "scary-ness" with the natural scents of oranges and spice.

How to Make DIY Basket Liners for Round Baskets

Chances are you already have a basket in your home that would be much more useful if it were lined. I can sew, but I can only sew straight lines. The idea of sewing a liner for a round basket was a little intimidating at first. I figured out how to do it and I am going to share it with you.

No Sew Shower Curtain Valance In No Time!

Here is the finished shower curtain and valance. I couldn't find much on line about this so I thought I would share. It is SO easy and I think the height makes the bathroom feel larger and the shower curtain look custom.

Faux Birch Bark Candleholders

Bring a touch of the popular birch bark wood indoors using faux birch bark paper! Say what? Yes! I found embossed birch bark wrapping paper on clearance at Pier1 and immediately thought of wrapping it around glass candleholders I found at the dollar store.It's perfect to use anytime, especially just after the holidays when most of us are looking for winter décor to replace the holiday trimmings we just put away. And if you can't find it at Pier1, Amazon has it, too!

Gave My Lamp Shade a New Life

I had this lamp with a damaged shade so for about $5-$8 I created a new shade and it took about two hours.

Mason jars have been pretty hot in home decor and have so many uses. Personally, I find places to put them in almost every room! To pretty them up, I decided to tint them various colors to give them a fresh look and match my decor. Give it a try for yourself!
