DIY Instructions:
1. Pour gold paint in paper plate.
2. Roll votive rims in the paint and let excess paint drip back onto the plate.
3. Turn right side up and allow to dry.
That’s it!

The silver and gold trays were purchased before Christmas. They cost me a whopping $4 at Michael’s. As of now, the candles have landed on the mantel. (“Busty Lady” found a new home.) My mantel changes every month it seems…I just can’t get a good fix on it. Come February, I’m sure something will have shifted again. Does anyone else have a space like this that you just can’t seem to get right?!
I just saw a bunch of gold-dipped hurricanes at HomeGoods and thought they would probably be an easy DIY project. You have affirmed my thoughts…now I just need to make some myself 🙂 Thanks!
Love it! So easy and so chic! I love cheap and easy projects 🙂
I found you through Frugal Girls and I’m glad I did. I’m your newest follower!
As for the mantel, yes, I know what you mean! That’s why I set out to change mine weekly for a year. It definitely helps to rotate everything across it and by the end of my year, surely I will have found a keeper 😉

where are those adorable ikat bowls from?
Cute idea! I have a mantle that changes all the time, I love that it makes the room look new. Now if I could only find the perfect way to arrange my furniture in there, I would be all set.
Beautiful! I’ve been totally digging gold accents lately. I’ll have to give this a try for my New Year’s Eve party.
Thanks, Heather.
They are so pretty! Sometimes the simplest, easiest project is the most chic 🙂
Quick easy projects- my favorite kind! These look great! I don’t change my mantle around much. My living room furniture arrangement drives me crazy, though, can’t figure out how to make it right.
What a wonderful idea! And oh so pretty too!
Definitely adds so much glamour! I love it! xo

Cute and simple. Adds something different to a room
Great project. Easy and cheap are the best!
A thought on the mantel, it’s not so much about not being able to get it right, because all of your looks are great!, I think it’s more about having a place to change things up without having to commit to a whole room change.
Great blog. Keep it up!
LOVE! What a wonderfully simple idea. Even the crafting-challenged like me could do this!
