$Dollar Store Hurricane's

I have been totally addicted to pinterest site online. It helps that they have an iphone app too! I have gotten all my crafty project ideas by browsing the site. My boards are full of ideas waiting for me to try out. I knew that I needed to get busy making things or else my pin boards would overflow and I would simply be a piner and not a doer!

The original hurricane's are inspired from a popular store and retail for $40. But,I was able to make them for $8 total! I made one trip to my local dollar store, found a few fall leaves in my very own backyard, Made a trip to my local craft store for some glass glue & frosted spray paint... well, here are the supplies I used.
As you can see, I used my cricut to make the mask for our last name "M". My cricut loved to be dusted off and used for once ;)

Originally I planned on using acorns to fill the walls of the hurricane between the candle and the vase. But, the space wasn't big enough for the acorns. So, Zachary helped me collect a few pretty leaves from our back yard instead.
