Early Preparations

I am starting some early preparations for Roly Poly's first birthday party,

which isn't until the end of July.

I know that you might think I am starting too early,

but really I bought the first party item in OCTOBER!!!!

Yes, October.

In addition to this,

I already have the invitations.

My friend Melissa who runs an awesome company called

BELLA ARTISTA

designed them.

I will be sharing them with you sometime soon.

However, today I want to share with you the little cloche that I made.

Yep.

Do you remember this cloche from my Spring Centerpiece Vignette?

Well, it has now been altered.

This was ALWAYS the plan when I purchased it.

I took the cloche and, well, I actually think it was some sort of drinking glass
because a candle could never have fit in it, and married them.

First, I spray painted each item with KRYLON Jade spray paint;

it matches the other decor that I have planned.

Then I used the trusty old E-6000 to adhere the "glass" to the bottom of the cloche.

Now it was a lovely pedastool.

Then I roughed up the trays edges with some sand paper to give it a more distressed look.

VOILA!!!!!!!!!

Pretty cloche in which the Roly Poly's smash cake will be displayed.

I am actually unsure about the distressing that I did.

I don't think that I did a very good job.

What do you think?

Should I repaint it so that it is all uniform?
