Upcycled Candleholder Using Kitchen Utensils
This project was part of the amazing Cent-Sational Salvage Challenge. When I found out that the month's item of choice was kitchen utensils, I was a little taken back, but after putting my thinking cap on I came up with the idea to make a candleholder. I'm so glad I did!
I started out by heading to the Habitat for Humanity Restore and picking up a set of knives and a saucer.
I definitely needed my hubby's strength for this project! I had him bend the knives for me so they were bent almost at a right angle. Make sure they are bent at the same length or your candleholder will be uneven!
I then painted the saucer with some chalk paint I had on hand.
Get out the glue gun! I attached the knives to the saucer plate using a hot glue gun, arranging them flat in a triangle to form a tripod base for the candleholder.
That's it! All done!
Well, I needed to add a candle, but then the project was complete.
Don't those knives make excellent legs for this candleholder?

Very nice. I've seen other old flatware repruposed for hooks, garden markers, and more but this is a first. Creative.
