Creating a cloche

I've seen these cute things all over blogland and chances are you have too.  They're so cute to display all sorts of fun things in - holiday items, kitchen or bathroom decor, special souvenirs from a trip, etc.  I knew I really liked them and knew they would be easy to make, I just didn't know what they were called.  After searching, I discovered they were called "cloches".  I wondered what the word meant and my google searches kept coming up with images of vintage looking hats.  Curiosity got the best of me and I decided that if I was going to have one, I wanted to know why it was called a cloche.  Here's what I found when I read the article here.
"The word ‘cloche’ is French, meaning simply ‘bell’. Earlier origins are found in the Medieval Latin word ‘clocca’, or clock. Today the word cloche is used in many ways, typically when something is bell-shaped such as a hat or a food covering."

Here's a picture of a cloche hat.  Perhaps you already knew this and I'm the last person to know, but I found it interesting!
Anyways onto the easy DIY!

Purchase a cheese dome and a candle stick from your favorite thrift store.

Pry off the little feet "jobbers" on the bottom.  Take it outside and spray it with primer, then a few coats of spray paint.

Use a heavy duty glue to attach the two together.  I used Instant Krazy Glue - all purpose brush on - which worked great!  So so simple, yet so so cute.  I'm already thinking how fun it will be to put mini-pumpkins inside in the Fall and maybe some pine cones or mini ornaments for Christmas.  The possibilities are endless!
