Terra Cotta Cupcake Pedestal ~ Garden Party Theme


Another quick and easy addition to your Garden Party Theme.  This idea was a spin-off from my recent DIY Stoneware Cake Stand, adapted into a terra cotta mini cupcake-sized version to go along with my other Garden Party themed party decor.

DIY Stoneware Cake Stand


So quick and easy!  So inexpensive!  Food Safe!  Reusable!  No painting!  
I put this cake stand together using a plate and bowl I purchased from Family Dollar.  I paid $2 for the plate and $1.60 for the bowl, along with a few cents worth of hot glue.  I came in at well under $4.  Family Dollar also had plain plates and bowls without the scroll design, for only $1 each; you could also purchase them at Dollar Tree for $1 each and complete the cake stand for a total of only $2!  You can't beat that.  

I've seen many tutorials that involve spray painting plastic plates and glass candle sticks.  I don't think the paint would hold very well on those surfaces and it would definitely have to be used for decor only as the painted surface would not be food safe.  My version offers a more versatile, food safe result and also simplifies the process tremendously.  This project literally took seconds!  I used hot glue for a temporary hold so I can repurpose the dishes later on.  But you could instead use E-6000 and let it set overnight for a more permanent bond.

Coloring Fall Florals with New Shades of Arteza Everblend Markers



I love the new color sets in the Arteza Everblend line of alcohol markers.  The grays include neutral, warm, and cool gray tones for anything from black and white art projects to shading and shadowing and so much more.  The skin tones include neutrals ranging from pinkish to yellowish to orangey and beyond.  Both sets range from very light to very dark and everything in between.  In today's video, I show how these colors can be used for more than skin tones and shading.  I like the muted color pallet for soft, subtle coloring like Fall Florals.
