A 25 Cent Candle Holder

I bought some little battery operated candles, and

I wanted to make a candle holder for one of them.

I bought this at a yard sale for 25 cents.

I tore out the old tin candle holder part so my little battery one would fit in it.

I painted it in Old White chalk paint.

Now I know that I should have waited for the paint to cure 

since I painted on metal,

but I didn't wait.

I waxed it right away, and when I buffed it the paint came off the edges a little.

I added some greens and then the candle.

You can see a little bit of the chipping on the edges.

I like chippy :)

I hammered a hole through the front and tied some twine 

to the back to hang some more greens to the front.

Sometimes it works out well to save things.
