After I got home I kept looking at them without knowing exactly what to do with them. As I had them sitting on my desk, I put one on top of the other. I knew what I was going to do with them. So I found an old cheap strand of fake pearls and put them in the candle holder. Then I got my E600 and glued the two glass holders together.
I hung a charm on a small chain and hung it from the top. Filled it with butterscotch chips (because seriously, my hips can't take any more Easter candy around here) plus I like the color, and found a lid from one of my other apothecary jars I no longer use. I LOVE IT. So for $2.00 I have a great little dish.

Love it!! Great job! Adding the pearls inside was very creative!
Oh, so pretty! This inspires me to glue something, fill it with something, hang something from it....very creative :)
Did you make that charm? I keep seeing them and have to add them to my to-do list (the one that's super long already!)
Great idea! I once used those little votive holders w/ a larger hurricane but it didn't look right--but I love what you've done here! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, I could never have envisioned that! Fabulous!!!
Your blog is so cute! And what a great idea--I love the pearls. Anything with pearls is a winner in my book.
Don't you just love it when a plan comes together? The marriage of all those individual pieces created a very happy union, indeed! ;)
Thanks for linking to the party. I hope you'll join me each week. The rules are simple: link any family friendly post, link back to my blog, and have fun.
Have a great weekend!

I think you can still buy rosette irons on Amazon, etc. I wish I had my mom's...they were well seasoned...I'll have to look for them next time we visit :)
It turned out great! I could never have one in my house, the candy would never stay in, lol. www.mylifeunzipped.blogspot.com
That turned out so cute!! I love how you filled the bottom half too :) Very clever!
what a fantastic idea... I love it!
This is really creative. Since you are a cook, I like that you filled it with butterscotch chips...something that is a part of what you like to do. Makes it a very personalized piece.
It looks gorgeous! How very clever!!!! I am off to look at some of your other pictures now! X
