Project Pinterest--Weeks 2 and 3!

So after visiting ILYMTC blog this week, I realized, I'm a week behind.  But the good news is that I did two pinterest projects this week!!!!!  Whoop!

First, for the project to be considered "Week 2," I got a jump start on my Christmas mantle.  I got the idea from this picture.

BUT, you know I have to adapt things a bit.....  So I pulled a little bit of a "Redneck Wine Glass" on this decor and hot glued candle sticks to the bottom.  Here's the before and afters.

I wanted them to be a bit tiered.  There will be one tall and one short on each side of the TV.  I got this stuff for CHEAP at a peddler's mall.  The big jars were $1.50 each and the small ones $1 each.  The candle sticks were between $1 and $2 each too.  I love that none of the candle sticks are the same.  But they make the jars the same height.  When I put them on the mantle, I'm going to put a pillar candle in them and epsom salt around the candle so it looks like snow!!!  :)  Then I'll tie a ribbon around the top of the candle stick to be *SO* festive.  PUMPED.  And I'm falling in love with my glue gun.

For the Week 3 project..... I got my inspiration from this pin....

I can NEVER find my keys in the dumpster I call my purse.  And our fridge is filling up at a rapid pace with crap we've stuck on there with magnets.  So I figured why not make a place to store my keys and leave IMPORTANT notes.  Lord knows I have enough wine corks to complete this project!  Here's the final product!

I got a $2.50 picture frame from the Dollar General.  And those hooks were only $1 there too.  We won't talk about how much wine I drank to get those corks.  I am going to get some ribbon to hot glue to the back of this and hang it with.  Its going to be awesome.  And it was so cheap!!!!  I love cheap projects!!!!!

I've got more projects planned for next week.  Can't wait!!!!
