Search & rescue forlorn small plates & candle holders at your favorite thrift store or home. The following eight items cost $4.50.
To make a couple specimens dark & creepy, paint the candle holder (these were not glass or ceramic) a metallic gray. Then, with an adhesive product, (make sure it works with the materials!) secure plate to pedestal.
Be patient during drying & curing! Trust me.
The next two are anytime of the year cuties. Use them to hold small items – keys, paper clips – or display seasonal goodies. Raised objects save linear space & lend visual interest.
Fun is… fake rodents & spiders on Halloween….one never knows where they may lurk around here…
