It is fun to take interesting items and turn them into something even more interesting. I started with a what I was told was a cupcake holder. To be honest that is not what I saw when I spotted it on a shelf at the Goodwill Store.
I wanted my theme to be elegant and wintry so I started by spray painting the cupcake holder white. I also inserted a glass Christmas tree I had into the center.
I then added votive candleholders to each cup holder. I had six around the house and had to purchase an additional six to fill each spot.
To glam things up even more I added Crystal drops I found at Michael's. I added one to each candle location by sliding it onto the open wire end.
The final product looks like a modern candle tree.
To pull the whole tablescape together, I covered my table with a white table runner embellished with silver threaded flower petals I found at Homegoods. To set my table I used silver chargers and white plates that I already had. I added glass stemware that I had purchased over time at the Salvation Army Thrift Store to each place setting. The silver napkins I purchased new from Homegoods. For the final touch of bling I added burgundy red beaded napkin rings which I already had around each napkin.
I think the lighted candles against the white and silver elements makes for a very elegant display. What do you think?
