My $2.00 Dollar Tree Project ~Primitive Candle & Base"


Good Morning!!
I would like to share my $2.00 Dollar Tree project.
~CLICK THE IMAGE TO SEE IT BIGGER~
The wooden candle stick was white. I painted it black, added a coat of modge podge and while wet, sprinkled cinnamon. I let dry then added another coat of modge podge.
For the candle, I printed out the word I wanted then traced it on my candle with a stylus. Then engraved the words. I then painted the words black and on went a coat of modge podge. After it was completely dry, I used Deco Art walnut stain to make it look old.
This is for decoration purposes only but you can surely make a hole in the center and use a battery powered tea light.
I think modge podge is the best thing ever!!!

  5. Nice inexpensive project. Turned out beautifully. Don't you just love to tell how "much" you spent on something? I do - the cheaper the better, as long as it looks expensive that is! ~Ann

  7. That looks wonderfully prim!
    I love what you did to the candle...I would have never had thought of engraving one like that...and now that you showed yours, it makes me want to do one. I will definately add it to my wish list!
    Have a wonderful Wednesday!
