I have recently been on a thrifting kick. I love finding a good deal and what better way than to head to the local thrift store and see what you find? So, when I recently went I found a candelabra/wreath/fruit THING (I’m not sure how else to describe it!) I took it home and deconstructed it. I had a few ideas for some different projects. I took the candle holder and transformed it into something fun and pretty!
You may want to see first what it looked like before!
I decided to spray paint the base gold. When I went shopping for candles I wanted to buy a mix of pretty colors, but they were expensive! So, I bought a pack of white taper candles (12 were $5.99 plus I had a 50% off coupon!) I went home and used some washi tape and started wrapping each candle with a different spacing and patterns.
I actually think I like the striped candles more than if I had bought a mix of colored candles. I think this would be a cute project even with a single candle holder or two on a mantle or shelf.
I’m excited to use this piece for outdoor or indoor decor! It’s a fun and easy project. I think a set of pretty candles would also be a beautiful gift tied up with ribbon.
