Just another DIY project with materials from one of the best LOCAL stores in town!
VINTAGE HARDWARE, OF COURSE! Snagged these great spindles for a decent price!
The project as a whole only cost me about $15! The sandpaper is already EVERYWHERE in the woodshop, and the paint was leftover from my bookcase painting endeavor at school this summer.
 |
| Cut the top and bottom off each piece so they were smooth and flat, sanded each spindle until they were smooth! |
 |
| Had to ask for a bit of help from my handy tool man father. I was too afraid that I would absolutely destroy the spindles if I tried to drill the candle holder holes! I'm semi-skilled with power tools, but I know when to get help in order to maintain project perfection! Thanks PA! |
 |
| Look at that beautiful cream colored paint! Lots of left over for the spindles. (And for the shutter! Stay tuned for that!) I used two coats of paint for each spindle for the best coverage. |
 |
| This one is technically upside down! Whoops! But the finished product looks pretty great. At least I think so! |
These lovely spindles were a gift for my even lovelier sister-in-law! Their final resting place is in the Midwest. Rachel will have to send me a final product photo once they find an official home!
Well done!
ReplyDeleteI am sure that these candlesticks were a hit for your sister in law!
That Vintage Hardware store sounds like a COOL place!!!
