How To... Make a Centerpiece for $3

Yes, you read the title correct. I made a centerpiece for 3 bucks. And it's pretty darn cute. How did I do this you ask? Well first, you need to take a look around your house. What can you use? And don't just look at the 'typical' things that you would use for a display. Pick up some things that you wouldn't normally use. Even if you end up not using it, that's OK. But think outside the box. When you do that, that's when you end up with something truly unique. Here is what I came up with:

 

What do you think about that? I love it's warmth and rustic-ness {is that a word?}. Perfect for fall, and down the road, Thanksgiving. How did this only cost me three dollars? I had this old piece of wood sitting in my garage from my Grandad's ranch. My dad thought it was cool looking, so he picked it up and brought it to me to do something with. And this is what I did. So that part was free. And the candles I picked up at the dollar store. The big candle, the tea lights come in a pack, and so do the medium sized candles. One, two, three things. Three dollars.

Now, mind you, candles are definitely one of those things that you "get what you pay for" kind of things. Since these are just dollar store candles, they don't last for a real long time. So I would only burn this during the time you actually are using it for your party, or get together, or Thanksgiving meal. The rest of the time it looks nice and pretty just sitting there.

So take a look around your neighborhood and see what you can find. You never know what might be sitting in someones trash pile {but make sure you clean it!}!

What do you think? Have you made any fun centerpieces or decorations for really cheap?
