If you've ever visited a Christmas Shop, you've likely run into Patience Brewster's artistic ornaments and accessories called "Christmas Krinkles." I have to admit that before times became tough for us financially, I spent a lot of money on Krinkles and I have quite a few in my stash.
Patience Brewster has lots of cute, small accessories in her collection, but here's what I really want:
Isn't that fun? A special Christmas table with lots of holiday flair! But hold the phone, 'cause the price tag on this little number is over $1000! YIKES! I don't know that I'd ever be able to justify that, no matter how well-off I might be.
This Christmas' budget does not include any Krinkles money, so I had to resort to Faking My Own!
I found this very sad table at a yard sale for $5.00. Doing ANYTHING to this table would be an improvement!
After a little craft paint, modge podge, felt & jewels, that little table went from forlorn to festive!
It's not an exact replica, but it's definitely "inspired" by Krinkles and I think it will be a great addition to our home this Christmas and the many more to come!
One more time...
The Fake-It Yourself Breakdown:
Fake Krinkles Table (Table $5.00, Felt $0.60, Jewels $3.00, Paint & Modge Podge on hand)
Total Fake-It Cost: $8.60
Compare to Real Krinkles Table ($1,050.00)
Total Fake-It Savings: $1,041.40
