I'm back again with GCD Studios fun and a TUTORIAL! I can not tell you how much fun I've had this year creating Halloween decor! Look around your house and see what you can repurpose into a holiday decor item. That is what I did here. I had this candlestick holder that was used at my oldest daughter's wedding reception. It was just hiding out in the storage closet not being used for anything. I thought it would make a cool vintage Halloween decoration. I spray painted it black and then added the roses made with the oh so sweet double sided GCD Studios paper and a little bit of fabric scraps. Here is a tutorial on how to make the roses:

4. Layer flowers together and glue in place. Use a different side of the patterned paper for each layer.

5. Create fabric flower by taking a 12 inch long strip of fabric scrap approx. 1/4 wide and wrapping and twisting the fabric into a rose shape. Add a few drops of hot glue as you wrap.

Now you have fab flowers to add to any project. I think they add a real nice touch to my candle holder. I added to lime green ribbon to the candle holder, along with some cream gauze and then added the black ribbon around my candlesticks.
Have a Happy Halloween ALL!! *and a fun time crafting, too! Hugs, Cheryl
