I got these little square bowls on clearance for $2 at Target, and I always pick up cool candlesticks for cheap when I find them at the thrift store. So this dish cost me $3, plus the cost of paint.
Here we go:
use a basic, non froo-froo font.
unless you have a really good exacto knife
and lots of patience.
I have neither.
let the paint dry for a good 1o minutes
and then use your exacto knife
to score the paint around each letter
before you peel the contact paper off.
I don't have a picture of this because I didn't do it,
and if you look closely at my dish
my letters are real wonky because when I took the
contact paper off it peeled off most of my letters, too.
So I had to fill in with a toothpick and paint.
Learn from my mistakes, and all is well.
Now glue your dish onto the candlestick using Liquid Nails.

cute! I swear between LOST and cadbury eggs and now candy...we are soul sisters. Ya know what is easier than an exacto knife? using vinyl...just a thought. Darling!
ps speaking of lost-your thoughts?
Is vinyl dish-washer safe, julianna?
yeah-unless you wash it everyday or heat dry. I use it for monograms on water bottles or platters mostly. But that cookie one in your handwriting could not be cuter. And I also make cookies on a regular basis. My recipe is very similar but I am def adding the flax seed next time. great tip.
You can also spray your candlestick to match all of the hardware in your house if it was not brass. My house is oil rubbed bronze. I buy the same candlesticks and spray them with ORB spray paint...then they match my house. Just another idea...I am addicted to spray paint.
That's awesome Danielle! I can't tell you how many times I turn down pewter (which I love) because everything in my house is brass (which I don't love so much).
THanks!
That is so cute! What a great idea... I might have to do this for my kitties. =) Thanks so much, I'll be linking.
