Who said that decorating your home had to cost a fortune to look like a million bucks? You can find many great items at your local dollar store that can make your home beautiful and won't break the bank.
I was reading Melissa's blog, 320 Sycamore, when I fell in love with her dollar store version of Williams Sonoma's glass hurricane! Click here to see what Melissa's Dollar Store knock off!
Mellisa's post inspired me to make a run to my dollar store (ok, who are we kidding? like I NEED a reason to go to the Dollar store?! LOL) My Dollar Tree did not have the tall white skinny candles, so I had to come up with a few other idea's - but really, the ideas of how to fill these are limitless!!
Take a look! Here's what I picked up at Dollar Tree (E-6000 I got at Walmart)
See the glass candle stick? I glued them to some of the glass candle holders like Melissa did!
First I filled them with the ornaments that I bought for another project (you'll just have to wait for that one!) then tied some holiday ribbon on each one and........wahlah!
Then I filled them with candy! You can buy those big candy cane sticks at Dollar Tree 2 for a $1!
I LOVE how these turned out!! I may have to go back for more!
It will be so fun to change these up for different seasons and holidays. Thanks for the inspiration Melissa!

So festive!!! I love those BIG candy canes!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
So pretty! I've been looking for those candy cane sticks, but can't find them near me. There's no Dollar Tree here. Is there one pretty close to you? I'll have to head that way.
This is such a fun and festive display!! I thought it was a magazine inspiration photo at first, lol. Wow, just love it!
SO pretty! What a great idea, thanks!!
That came out so beautiful! :) Love it!
I love the Dollar tree for Holiday decorations. Thanksgiving, Easter, New Years and Christmas! Get a lot for a little!
SO pretty! You can glue plates to those candlesticks too to make a cookie or cake platter. I love what you did!
Great ideas! Stumbled upon your blog from Bella Casa. I was quite tempted to become a follower, but since I follow LOTS of blogs, I hesitated. Then I read your "about me" and knew I had to become a follower. I could steal that description for myself--maybe we were separated at birth because it seems we're just alike!
Fabulous!!! Great photos too. I'm featuring a little Dollar Tree decorating project (that took me all of 3 minutes) tomorrow. I LOVE that place.
Wow! That turned out just beautiful! Love the Candy canes:)
Beautiful. I would like to share a link for some beautiful baby shower gifts. Handmade Baby Hangers. They are beautiful wall decor for a nursery.

Beautiful, Cheryl! I love that first pic, so colorful with the red and white. Love how all your Dollar Tree things turned out. They do have some fun things to work with.
Love the Dollar Tree decor!!! Looks great!
Wow, I would never guess that stuff came from Dollar Tree. I love their party supplies (table cloths, napkins, etc)
FABULOUS!!!! LOve the candy in the containers. The idea is genius!!! Pinky
Hi! I love it when "cheap" becomes "wonderful" and it surely did with your creations...

Oh how pretty and colorful! I love the Dollar Tree! Most of my Christmas decor came from there. I'll have to look for the huge candy canes. Nice job! ~Lisa
I love these! I wish the Dollar Store was still open - it's 11:30 pm - oh, well there's always tomorrow. BTW, your photos are just great. I just started following you. Thanks for sharing.
I did the same exact thing with the same exact pieces with inspiration from 320 Sycamore! LOVE how you dressed yours up....
I'm so glad to see you at my party...hope you feel welcomed :)

I'll be hitting up a few "Dollar" stores today to see what I can find. Very cute ideas as always, Cheryl!!
Cheryl,
Your post isn't going through on my party. Come back over and add it again and I will see if I can take the info from the new entry and move it to the old entry and if I can't at least people can still come over.

Hi! I found your blog from Napping on the Porch- I love it!! I took myself out today in the pouring rain straight to the dollar store and bought candlesticks and jars. Hopefully by tomorrow they will be finished and I will have pictures up on my blog. May I link it back to you?

That's it, I need to go to the Dollar Tree tomorrow!
I thought you had stolen that photo from a stock photography site. It is so professional and gorgeous looking, it's hard to believe you got everything from the Dollar Store.
These are great! I made some of these, too! I actually posted to this party also. http://vanessadolberry.blogspot.com/2009/12/what-do-you-get-when-you-take-one-of.html
Love how you put the candy sticks in them. So festive! I think I might just etch a monogram on mine like the Williams Sonoma version...
I really love the giant candy canes. So glad I have the day off tomorrow!!!
Love, Love, Love it! So beautiful! What an amazing idea glueing the candle sticks to the glasses...I'll have to remember that one!
...and your photos are beautiful!
stopping by from Tip Junkie!
Hi, I love your decor! Where did you get the glass top from (on top of the vase w/ the silver balls)?
Thanks!
Anonymous- I got the glass top from (on top of the vase w/ the silver balls)at Good Will for $2
Thanks for all the wonderful compliments everyone!
