Hello! How are you? I've had a lovely start to my uni break; I've cleaned and gardened my little heart out! One of the things I found while cleaning was this candelabra which was, you know, nice, but not really in keeping with the rustic aesthetic my style.
So, I grabbed some washi tape and some cotton thread and got to work! And now it looks like this:
Ta da!
And this is how it looks like when it's lit up! ^___^ Although
it's not really traditionally Christmas-y, I think it goes well with my
pom-pom tree so I'm going to consider it a Christmas decoration. Plus,
anything with candles is automatically extra Christmas-like, right?
~___^
This was a very easy project to do, albeit time-consuming. To wrap the candelabra I cut lengths of cotton thread off the main ball and made them into smaller balls; this really helps make manovering the thread around much easier. I tied on the thread with a knot and then wrapped the thread around both the candelabra and the tail of the knot. Then I just kept wrapping!
For the actual candle-holders, I just tore off strips of washi tape and wrapped them around the glass. I used two strips because, hey, the more washi tape the better! ~___^
And that's that! ^___^
The next post I had to share with you was going to be a sewing project, but my machine has thrown in the towel. Oh no! So I'll need to think of something else to finish, but now that I can't do a sewing project, that's all I can think to do! Typical! ~___^
