After painting the candlestick a few coats, I decided it needed more, so I added the polka dots. Then, I decided that I didn't really like how it looked matte and dull, so I took it out to the garage and gave it a quick coat of poly gloss. Sorry, didn't take pics of those two steps, but I'm sure you can picture it :)
I used Gorilla Glue Super Glue to hold the parts together. I love that stuff!!! I added some weight to the top and let it set till morning. Not that it needed to sit that long, but at 1 A.M. I was a little tired and went to bed. The finished Easter dish:
Of course, it's hand wash only, but you knew that already! Those two chicks didn't last long....Hago snatched them right up...chocolate for brunch? I know, I know....bad mommy.
I actually made this for a friend and will be taking it to her in the morning filled with Funfetti cupcakes....can you believe she's NEVER had a funfetti cupcake??? I know they don't really taste any different than vanilla, but they are so FUN!
