Aren't they gorgeous???? Then I saw $79 a piece...sorry, but they aren't THAT gorgeous.
So, I set out to re-create these. Heres my supplies, and I'll break down the costs for ya in a second :)
I got the bowls at salvation army, round total for those $1.79
Liquid nails at Walmart $2.17
Mirrors for small bowls came from the dollar store, in the candle section $4.00 total
Mirror for large bowl came from Hobby Lobby $2.47
Picture hanging kit came from Dollar Tree $1.00
So, with labor, you figure it cost me about $12.00 for 5 of them (considering they took all of 10 minutes to make.
I used liquid nails to glue the mirrors inside, and then I screwed these little picture hangers in the back to hang them by.
I think they make a nice little grouping in my kitchen and since it would have cost me $395 + tax and shipping at the barn, I'm pretty darn excited about these babies...
Those are amazing, I luv your take on it, not only it's gorgeous but it also was creative.
