Pewter Candlestick Makeover










What do you get when you cross store bought candlesticks with a bag of trims? You get a whole bunch of wonderful! Last Friday I came across these plain, but beautiful pewter candlesticks. They looked so sad and lonely setting there on the shelf. As I came closer, they seemed to be saying "take us home and make us pretty".  I stayed up late last night stringing the last seed beads and sewing on the last bit of trim. This morning I was happy to find them all dressed up and ready to be delivered to my favorite store. I love it when a project comes together. God is Good! All the Time!

  10. What a fabulous idea! I think I may still have some old boring candlesticks in my garage to experiment with! I am hosting my first link party today, and would love for you to link this up, along with anything else you like!

  11. Such a darling idea!! They look so much happier now that they are all dressed up and I think this was very clever. :-) Thanks so much for sharing it with us at Inspiration Friday!

  14. So shabby-chic...I love that and can see using the layered flower + embellishment technique to pretty up some around my house - you know I have all this linen clothing to re-purpose!
