I thought about this for awhile, and finally decided I would try and replace the cup. I ended up finding another candle holder at a thrift store that had almost the same size cup and could be removed easily.
I then used epoxy to glue the cup onto the candelabra.
Finally, I decided to change the color and I spray painted it red (you can see how careful I am when I work with paint :)
Check out the final product! I little off-center but with charm, like all the best re-loved pieces.
What a beautiful transformation. I love the red with the white candles. So neat to see things that might be thrown out given new life!
ReplyDeleteI adore your color choice! The red really pops. Hi from your newest follower... I just found your blog on the handmadeology etsy team discussion page. I'm trying to visit as many of the blogs on the thread as I can :) Please visit and follow my blog, too!
