The only Hurricane I love

This is an old tutorial that has been around blogland for awhile. I would really like to credit someone for giving me this idea but I don't remember where I saw it and when I googled "dollar store hurricane", I got a little more than 50 different blogs to choose from.  So why would I post it here then if it's already everywhere else?

Because I love it. Because my husband didn't believe me that I made these. Because I write this blog and hold all the power.

So what do you need? 2 Cheap crystal candle holders, which they have at the dollar store, and two cheap tall vases, also from the dollar tree. Add that up and you have a whopping $4 for two hurricane vases. You will also need some Gorilla Glue which you shouldn't add to the final cost because your new found love for Gorilla Glue will be priceless. Just wait.. you'll see... priceless.

Start with the candle holder.

Then take the vase and make sure you peel all the stickers off the bottom. Or don't..

Dampen the top of the candle holder and apply a few drops of Gorilla Glue. You only need a tiny amount of glue. You will think that you need more but it expands and you do not need more than a few extremely small drops!

Now place the vase on top of the candle holder, making sure it is balanced, and then leave it alone!

Let it dry and you have this....

and this...

Beautiful huh? I'm looking for fall decorations to put in them right now. Please forgive the rocks. I was on a hunt for filler in my garage.

I also wanted one of them to be higher than the other so I found a glass lid and glued that in between the candle holder and vase. You can't really see it but it did help one be a little taller than the other.

Go out... raid the dollar tree... and create!
