Dollar Store Centerpiece

So although I like my centerpiece on our dining room table I thought that I would spruce it up with an idea that I saw on pinterest...you will see a trend on how I get a lot of my ideas. So here is my current centerpiece.


Below I bought some items at Dollar Tree. Three candle sticks, super glue, and religious candles (not sure what they are called but that is how I refer to them) three vases and a couple bags of split peas. Two of my vases were different, so I used the one that was different for the middle one.



Put a bead of super glue along the top of the candle stick and set your vase on top



I then put the religious candle inside as added weight and then went and did some laundry, because I am impatient and knew I would move it before it was dry...probably about 10 minutes.


I poured the split peas around the candle and put them on the table. I also thought coffee beans would be neat too and smell amazing. The best part is you can change it for any season and when the candle burns out you just head to Dollar tree and get some more!!!
Not glamorous...but a nice change!




You could even take the candles out and fill them with flowers!!
