$5 and 5 minute project!

Hello ladies from The Shabby Nest, I just did this a couple of weeks ago so I am decided to use this a my frugal decorating contribution. It's not much but it was easy and fun. Can't wait to see what all you have done. :)



So, here is my contribution to the $5 project!





It's just a candle, a glass vase, some rocks and a pretty ribbon. ALL except the ribbon were purchased the Dollar tree! The ribbon is just some I had on hand.


I just found a glass vase and filled the bottom with some of the rocks, placed the candle on top and then tied my ribbon around it and VOILA!

Easy peasy and I happen to think it turned out pretty cute!

This literally took less than 5 minutes and I figured I could change the ribbon with the different seasons and holidays as well.

I am all about easy, frugal and fab ideas!

I like that a lot! In fact, I may take the moss and flowers out of mine (same vase and rocks) and put in a candle.

the ribbon totally pulls it together with your other items. I love that you are already thinking ahead to change the ribbon depending on the season!
