Today's project is inspired by some Darlings that I have recently featured. Remember these?
Two awesome ideas that I sort of combined!
Supplies for my version:
Dollar Tree candlestick and vase
Finial dowel cap and small wooden circle (from Hobby Lobby)
Paint of choice
glue
sand paper or sanding block
I had everything but the finial cap and the wooden circle so actual money spent was $1.30 plus tax. But to buy supplies excluding paint, glue, and sand paper would be $3.50 plus tax! So lovin' the little cost to this project!!
Let's get started!!
First of all, there's 3 ways you can do this.
Here's just the wooden circle and vase.
Wooden circle, vase and finial cap.
And this is my version!! So do what ever you like! Now to the painting!
I took the metallic pink paint I have and painted the candlestick, wooden circle and finial before gluing. Gave the candlestick a second coat....wasn't worried about it being a little streaky as I was going to spray paint it later.
Then I glued the wooden circle to the candlestick with cement and let dry.
Once the cement was dry I took my new stand and finial outside and used spray paint (Rustoleum's Ballet Slippers) and painted a final time. Once that was dry I then took a sanding block and 'destressed' away so the hot pink would show through!! Yay for double pink!! Then I glued the finial cap to the bottom of the vase.

All done!! Isn't she cute?!
I can't wait to use this for one of the special things I have planned for August Bash week!!
☺
Happy Thursday!!
