Here's what they looked like when I bought them.
I wanted them to have a patina look to them so I painted them first with paint that I already had on hand.
Now on to the messy stuff! I used spackle and with my fingers I just rubbed it all over it.
Now this I see being done by so many of you out their and LOVE IT! Wrapping plain glass votive holders in burlap. I bought these two in Pier 1 for a $1 each I'm going back to get two more! I always have burlap and twine on hand.
Thought I'd sneak this in too! I did this a while ago using my absolute favorite ribbon. It reminds me of vintage grain sack. These sconces hang in my family room near the fireplace.
So what projects did you work on this weekend? I would love to here about them! Martina

Purty Martina! I love the burlap too around the candles.
Great job, I love your new candlestands!
Great find on those candlesticks, Martina! It's things like these that make me so jealous we don't have a Hobby Lobby here.
Great job Martina! What a transformation the paint and spackle did to those candlesticks. I'm impressed!
Have a great day!
