I've started sooo many projects and haven't completed any yet. reason is i am the kind of person who would wait for ages for the last, final AND THE PERFECT touches a thing needs to look absolutely marvelous. i do rush into building new stuff but i think over and over again about what exactly the finished look should be, hence, it takes agessss....!
This is a small project and literally didn't cost me a penny. Top most reason of recycling is the projects costs from little to nothing.
A faux metal candle holder made with news papers and card board rolls
Closeup... stylish one ;)
Supplies needed:
News papers
Card board rolls
PVA glue
some different sized objects to make rings
steps:
1. cut your news papers into half, now start making a tube of one half by rolling it slowly from one corner.
Secure the end with PVA glue.
2. Start wrapping the paper tube around your desired size object. i used for different bottles. and one was my nail color's bottle that was square. stick the end with glue, hold for a few seconds to let the glue dry.
3. Make different sizes of rings according to your design. here are a few i made with my students.
use a pencil to make the tealight holder
the one i did with my students in class.
some prettiness :')
4, Cut some cardboard rings if available. I had two different sizes so i used them here to add a extra detail,
5. Arrange and stick using glue gun. i made this design to be placed on the side of a huge picture frame above my headboard.
6. SPRAY PAINT. in the picture above, left one is unpainted and right one is painted.
7. DECORATE. i had penny sized mirrors and being a mirror lover, I HAD to use these. Pretty little babies,
finished project:
That sketch was a gift from me to hubby on our wedding reception... ahhhh... those memories...! :')
