The countdown to Christmas is coming fast but if you have a bunch of junk sitting around you may be able to whip these up in a couple of hours.
These candle holders started with a few things that I had dug up at a yard sale.
And a few pipes that I had literally dug up…yes they were at an old dump.
The terra cotta pipes were painted white. I used an interior semi gloss left over from painting the trim in my house.
When the white paint was dry, I taped off stripes and painted with a a soft gray color. This paint was leftover from painting my bedroom. I do like to use what I have.
The pipes were sanded gently with fine sandpaper just to bring out a little of the pipes age. Went over the pipes again with a light stain to give a little age.
My junky tops were washed and just placed on top … the candleholders were finished.
What I like about these is that they can be used any time of year as a focal point on the table. The only thing that makes them seasonal is the greenery.
Thanks for stopping by and may you all have the happiest of holidays.

These are amazing! You have incredible vision to put all these pieces together for a truly fantastic candle arrangement!

these are toooooo cool. These would go great outdoors too. We have a little courtyard area at our new old house that I think these would look great. Thanks for the idea…

Thanks Teri, These come together so fast as long as you have the supplies. They would be great outside, the tops are already rusted.
