No Ordinary Sparrow: Dish Soap Stand {a tutorial}

I found this fun idea on Pinterest.

I loved it and wanted to rush right out and buy all the pieces to make it that minute. But I live 1 1/2 hours from the nearest Target/TJ Maxx/ or any other cool store. So in an effort to be thrifty, I spent the next year looking for the perfect candle stick. I had found one last summer, but alas, it came as a set and I liked them too much to tear them apart. So, patiently waiting and keeping my eyes open, I finally found one at a rummage sale with my mom and sister this past weekend. It did come in a set of three, but I convinced my mom that she only needed two candle sticks to be happy. She wasn't sure she believed me but I convinced her that I needed that single, solitary candle stick to make my life complete.
The best part though? The original owner of those candle sticks was selling the whole 3 piece set for 1.00! I actually had to look twice at the sticker, I couldn't believe it!
That's what I call a super score!
I got my super cute plate from TJ Maxx of course.

Here is all you need:
1-candle stick
1-cute plate
1-hot glue gun

Just make sure that the top of your candle stick is smaller than the bottom of your plate of course!

Heat up your hot glue gun and slap some hot glue on that candle stick.

Turn your cute plate upside down and stick the candle stick in the center of it. Make sure you work quickly so that the glue doesn't cool down and harden before you get it on the plate.

And voile! You have a beautiful stand to add style and beauty to your kitchen sink. Which frankly could use a little pick-me-up, at least in my house.

All you need to do is add your dish soap and hand soap to your lovely new stand. I put my dish soap in a glass decanter that I picked up from TJ Maxx for $4.00. That way it looks even prettier. I may have to find a pretty bottle for the hand soap next.
