I have waited a long time to do this post!
When I was in Las Vegas last summer I was able to tick off one of the (sad) things on my bucket list by visiting a Dollar Store ……… 
…… well, I didn’t quite manage a Dollar Store ….. but a 99c Only Store was just as brilliant!!!
Well, Lucy thought I was mad when I bought these two glass candlesticks, but at 61p each they were to good to leave behind, and believe me I had to leave so much behind because of weight and luggage space! 
In my mind I already knew what I wanted to do with them, but I had to wait until a recent trip to Ikea to complete it.
The candlesticks were fairly light, so I wanted a light glass plate and bowl to go with them, I’d looked in charity shops but nothing I saw was quite right …. then I found this Frodig bowl and side plate in Ikea for just £1.50 each. Well, it was a done deal!
All I needed was some E600 glue, as recommended by Marc, because it sticks like glue to absolutely anything!!!
I am so pleased with the finished results …. they are light and delicate …. made for just £2.11 each and a couple of dabs of glue, perfect for one of my exclusive soirees……..
One regret of my visit? I wish I had bought a box of this popcorn, instead of just taking a photo of it!!!However, I have just found the 99c Only Store blog, which is well worth a look for some very ingenious craft ideas - http://www.99only.com/blog
