I saw these candlesticks made 2 ways on 2 different blogs (Impatiently Praying for Patience and A Little of this and a Little of that) and loved the idea of making them myself. I used ideas from both blogs to come up with my own version of them. Here is the PB version:
Here are the newels I picked up at the ReStore for $4 each. Newels are the large posts at the end of a staircase.
Ed cut them down for me then I glued fence post toppers to the bottom of each one and round wood plaques to the top of each one to hold the candles. Then I lightly sanded them and painted them black.
Total cost: $11.50 each candlestick
- Newels $8 ($4 each)
- Fence post toppers $4 ($2 each)
- Round wood plaques $3 ($1.50 each)
- Black Spray Paint $8 ($4 each)
I think they look awesome! We saw similar candlesticks at Hobby Lobby that were $40 and up EACH!
Have a great day!

I love these. Yours turned out great! I've got some old chair-rail spindles that are just begging for new life... I'll have to officially add it to the home decor to-do's, for sure!
ReplyDeleteThose are fantastic. I saw some like that in a catalog for a price i 1.) can't 2.) won't pay. Thank you for sharing a better way to make a beautiful home!
