Painted Wooden Candlesticks

Posted on May 1, 2014 by Roeshel

I recently shared an easy mirror update inspired by a wood + turquoise bowl…

inspiration:

Then I spied a set of three {Ty Pennington Style…love his style, don’t you?} candlesticks for $4.99 at the thrift store and couldn’t resist creating a wood + turquoise collection.

Materials:

Wooden candlesticks
FrogTape®
Paint (Maison Blanche Furniture Paint, color is “colette”.)

What I did:

I simply wrapped the FrogTape® around my candlesticks to create an angled design.

Using my thumbnail, I burnished the edges of the FrogTape.

Then simply applied two coats of paint with a foam brush.

While the paint was still wet, I carefully pulled away the FrogTape to reveal a crisp, straight, clean paint line.

The design varies depending on which side faces out.

Now they’re a one of a kind Ty Pennington/DIYShowOff style! Working with him and he isn’t even aware. Maybe it’s for the best as he may not be flattered that I altered his design. 😉

Then let them dry. Add candles and display! So cute! West Elm log vase is from my secret Santa…love it!

Thrifty Treasure Transformation – colorful candlesticks

Posted on July 19, 2012 by Roeshel

I shared this over at the DIY Club a few weeks ago but wanted to share here too. When I saw this Martha Stewart image…I loved the coordinating colorful candles and candlesticks.

So, I started collecting wooden candlesticks from thrift stores and yard sales…

I wanted a fun colorful accent to go with our family room plans:

What I used:

Wooden candle sticks
Candles (color matching my Patio Paints)
Deco Art Patio Paint (dark eucalyptus green, waterfall, fuchsia, buttercup)
Deco Art Patio Paint reusable Home & Garden stick on stencils
dark glaze (TransTint Dye by Rockler)

How I did it:

1. I gave my wooden candlesticks a few coats of Patio Paint each. Because I didn’t sand the wood, I used a dry brush technique. I preferred an antiqued look. I let the candlesticks dry between coats.
