Candle Holder Turned Cup Holder & Solar Flower

I found a candle holder stand at the Goodwill store. I knew I needed a cup holder for my sky chair (hanging chair). I decided this candle holder would make a great cup holder, but I didn't stop there.


Here is a picture of the candle holder. It had a little rust so I decided to paint it.
I used Rustoleum Metallic paint which I already had on hand from updating my patio furniture.


I painted the candle holder and gave it 2 coats, letting it dry between each coat.


My sky chair hangs on this frame. The weather wasn't cooperating to get it out so I used my rocker to give you the idea of the cup holder use.


I went into ARC Thrift Store and found this light fixture. It was on sale for .50 so of course I had to buy it knowing I could make something out of it.


I had a solar light from the Dollar Tree and pulled the stem off of it.


I put the light into the light fixture, and put the light fixture into the candle holder stand.


Here is what it looks like complete. It will be a flower while I'm not using or needing it as a cup holder.


Here are a few pictures of it lighting up with the solar light.


I like how it turned out and hope you do too.


I'll be making this and more solar things on Hometalk's Facebook Live show on Friday, March 10th at 7pm EST. Hope to see you there! https://www.facebook.com/Hometalk
