Lovely Little Cloche


I don't have a whole lot to say about this sweet little piece.




It was plain wood and I used my homemade chalk paint to spruce up the bottom.








I used vintage sheet music to make paper flowers to fill it with.




Those flowers have gotten soooo much easier to make and I only had one teeny tiny little burn to show for it!




And there you have it!

  1. So sweet! Great minds must think alike! I just purchased my first cloche, very similiar in size and shape to yours, and put a coffee filter rose inside. Haha! I love it!
    Love that you used music sheets to make yours...so pretty!

  3. So where did you get it?? I want a cloche SO badly and I never see them at the consignment shops I frequent. I know they have one at Hobby Lobby but it's expensive :( Yours is beautiful by the way :)

  4. This is so cute!!!! I have a beautiful cloche, but I am always looking for new ideas of what to put in it. When I finally do those flowers! My finger pads haven't quite recovered from last weeks reupholster project where I finished with black gimp for the trim, hot glueing as I go........

  5. Truly sweet! I thought at first we had identical cloches, but mine has a marble base -- it's actually for cheese, but I would never use it for that.
