Upcycle with DecoArt to create tiered centerpiece

I've been seeing these cute tiered centerpieces on Pinterest.  I just had to have one for my kitchen table.  Buy it?! NEVER!!  Have to break it down and make it myself!

Couldn't find the right plates at Dollar Tree-I did pick up plain glass candlesticks there.  Scooted on over the Roses and found the plates. $1 for large and 89cents for small. Total for tiered tray $7.

Start

                                                              Prep with Gesso-allow to dry.

Used DecoArt Suede Chocolate to coat good, then a baby wipe to gently wipe 

away to look vintage.

I bought the flowers, white glass pieces at Dollar Tree. You can add whatever décor YOU want to match your space.  Change it out for holidays.  Endless possibilities.

Hope this inspires you to create your own tiered centerpiece!!

Altered Dollar Tree Cross

I started with a $1 cross from Dollar Tree. (2nd photo)
Did several layers of products, finished with a bow! 
I love it!!

I stenciled some clocks using DecoArt Texture paste and a clock stencil.
Sprayed with yellow, red and blue alcohol inks.

I did a coat of Weathered Wood Crackle Medium.  Once dry, I put a coat of white Americana acrylic paint, rubbed off, using my finger I spotted gold Metallic Media fluid acrylic paint from DecoArt.

Here's a close up of how the Weathered Wood crackle medium showed up!  

It was great!
