Easter Candle DIY

Well I have this beautiful home but the previous owners had built it with a pony wall that had ugly fake flowers and white rocks.  After we moved in I took those flower down but I left the rocks - still not knowing what to do with this thing a year 1/2 later.

pony wall the day we moved in...love the flowers??? not me.

Ok so this is the case...it's Easter on Sunday and my in-laws started planning a party 2 months ago but the number of guest they invited to their home kept increasing and the party is now at my home. There will be over 70 people here on Sunday.  I love my home but I haven't had the best use of time decorating it. So  What to do with a bare pony wall with white rocks in them...not looking very easter celebration. 

Ok - Superstore had these rectangle vases, so I picked two up. Ran to Home depot and grabed some pretty flowers. Now off to Ikea for candles and the dollar store for ribbon and colored rock.

Now I glued the ribbon on using Mod Podge and lined the bottom with 3 different styles of rock. One purple and two white. then I layed the candles on that.

Here is my end result.

The only thing now to do is clean all 6 washrooms, and clean the house top to bottom, but atleast the ugly pony wall is taken care of. Glad it's only Tuesday and I have until Saturday to get the home spick and span. Wish me luck.
