D.I.Y Coffee Table - so cool and practical!

Need a new coffee table or maybe just want to make something? This easy, sustainable D.I.Y pallet project may be just the thing for you. This is one project that I am really looking forward to do...

IT GETS BETTER PROJECT

1. ABOUT IT GETS BETTER
   
   

   On September 21, 2010, Dan Savage and his partner, Terry, posted a message on YouTube for LGBT teens everywhere facing harassment. The message was simple: "It gets better. However bad it is now, it gets better." The video was just a small response to a series of bully-induced suicides by LGBT youth. Dan wanted to reassure LGBT teens everywhere that life does, in fact, get better, and more often than not, life can get great. 
   
   Since then, The It Gets Better Project has turned into a worldwide movement, inspiring politicians, celebrities, organizations, activists, and personalities alike to submit their own story. From President Barack Obama to funny girl Sarah Silverman, everyone has put out their own message of hope.
   
   Now, it's MTV's turn to add to the movement with the It Gets Better special, a reminder to teens across the country that it will get better, and we're standing right by them until it does.

BE CRAFTY FOR HALLOWEEN.

She turned these

Into this:

...and into this

Where she found the supplies:

candlesticks - Michaels, 2.99 each

round base - any craft store, .50

letters - Hobby Lobby, .99 each

Glass Jar - Hobby Lobby, 2.99 each

Finial - .99 each or knob - bag full for 2 dollars or so at any ol' craft store

ribbon - any craft store, about 2 dollars

paint - my paint bin, free

(about 20 dollars to make all three and just over a half hour. I didn't have any coupons or sales and was not patient enough to wait for them, you could do it for quite a bit less if you did.)

I used hot glue for all parts excepts to adhere the glass onto the

candle stick and then I used super glue GEL.
