So I am hell bent

On having centerpieces like this but smaller and in three's in the center of the tables. So those black candlestick holders are a BEAST TO FIND and when I found them...EXPENSIVE as hell...soooooo the google God's and my proximity to Angola Prison (where the inmates make stuff out of wood like you would never BELIEVE!) I thought about finding unfinished wooden candlestick holders and found this site http://www.cdwood.com/Candle-Cups-s/118.htm
I am going to order the 6 3/4 in, 9 in and 11 in candlestick holders and paint them black with Krylon spray paint. Looks like my first DIY is coming up soon!!!

  • Maybe you can buy the candle sticks from dollar tree and spray paint. Or do they have to be wood ?

    Wood is good so the paint will adhere to it Oh and lightly sand the wood down to make sure it's smooth And then wipe it down with a damp cloth Let that dry then spray paint them Make sure sure you are in a well ventilated area
