Repurposed Candlesticks

Do you have an old chair just laying around, wondering what to do with it how about using it to repurpose it into a candle stick set? Making a set of candlesticks is nice and easy and lets you stand out during these upcoming holidays.
Steps: 1- Gather all your supplies and set the saw up where you won’t mind a mess 2- Remove your spindles from the back of a chair and cut them at each end so they will be flush. For your set, I suggest cutting them at 12” 10” and 8” but you can choose your own heights 3- Once you have your desired length use the glue of your choice (liquid nail or E6000) and attach one saucer centered on each side of your spindle 4- Let the glue dry 5- Once your spindles are dry spray paint them black for your base and allow the spray paint to dry 6- With your desired color dry brush over the black and allow to dry 7- Once paint is fully dried take your sand paper and slightly sand back in different areas to allow the black to show through and give that distressed look enjoy!
Gather all your supplies and set the saw up where you won’t mind a mess
Supplies: 6 clay saucers (4.25” round), 3 wooden spindles (I got mine from the back of a chair), paint of your choice, 60 grit sand paper, liquid nail (or you could use E6000), Black spray paint (I used flat black), paint brush, and a saw.
Remove your spindles from the back of a chair and cut them at each end so they will be flush. For your set, I suggest cutting them at 12” 10” and 8” but you can choose your own heights.
Once you have your desired length use the glue of your choice (liquid nail or E6000) and attach one saucer centered on each side of your spindle.
Let the glue dry. Once your spindles are dry spray paint them black for your base and allow the spray paint to dry

I did several at one time in several colors. They make great holiday décor and gifts
