One day as I was checking out a local thrift store I came across this lovely little Cloche. I was shocked when I saw the price tag of $3, I knew I had to take it home.
Since it was only the top, I knew I had to come up with something to place it on. I tried a few things at my house, but they weren't big enough. Then I saw a little pizza tray that I had bought from the Dollar Tree, and it was a perfect fit.
I started with a small candlestick, but it just didn't give it enough support, so I had to move on to the larger one, which was also purchased from the Dollar Tree.
And guess what, it worked! I hot glued the candlestick to the pizza tray, painted it white, & then I had a great new Cloche, all for $5!
I added the green apples, which I purchased from Michaels.
So, what do you think?? I'm pretty happy with my $3 find. :)
Any fun thrift store finds that you all have come across?
I bought a few other things that day, they will be next on my list. :)

Amazing! I love it!!
I thing it looks great, and what a bargain:)
You are so clever! I've seen a lot of attempts to DIY cloches- but usually they look, well- a little DIY-ed.
But YOURS looks awesome- so beautiful!!

I got one just like that at the thrift store too but haven't yet found anything to put under it. I like your green apple idea. It really does need a something colorful. Good job.
So cute! I love it! I've passed up a few at thrift stores, now I'm inspired! I need to pick one up. Thanks!
Perfect! I love it when you can score such a great thrifty find and then jazz it up for next to nothing. A few weeks ago, I scored some great slender vases that are currently getting a face-lift. Gets your creative juices dancing! AJ@queenofmynest
I think whoever marks items at our local thrift must read DIY blogs at night. Once a domed glass lid would be $2 at the most and now they are $10!!! When I come across one that is reasonable I plan to use this idea. Thanks for the tip about the sturdy base. I can probably find a new one cheaper! Came over from Winthrop.

This turned out great. Would never know it's a pizza tray! So glad you linked this to Things I've Done Thursday!
Great bargain, & it looks like it might also work as a cake cover, if it's large enough! Good job!

So cute! My goodness, you are so creative!
Oh My! Awesome idea. You certainly can't tell you made it from the items you did.
That looks great! I love great finds from the thrift store! Nice work :) Stopping by from Do Something Crafty, and now following along!
