I can’t believe that May is already here. I’ve been really busy getting some of my yard work done, a few things planted in my garden, two pecan trees planted, and my new Thrift Store Candle Holder Bundt Pan Makeover finished.

Since my little break it has been really hard getting back into the swing of blogging, knowing all the things that still need to be done in the yard. But creating something new is always gratifying, especially when you can take a thrift store item, and turn it into something fun and useful. That is a great feeling!

Candle Holder Bundt Pan Makeover

I am combining two of my recently purchased Goodwill Finds into one useful item.
• Metal candle holder was purchased for $1.49
• Bundt pan $.99

I gave both items a good scrubbing, then set them out to dry.

Next I took apart the candle holder, and drilled a hole in the bottom center of the Bundt pan.

Finding the bolt not long enough to go through the bottom of the pan and back into the candle holder, I was off to Home Depot to purchase a longer bolt.

Home Depot not having the correct length needed, I purchased a bolt a quarter of an inch longer, then using my trusty hacksaw I cut the bolt to the length needed.

 

 

My next step was to add a metal washer to my bolt, then through the hole on the pan and back into the pieces of the candle stick holder and screwing it down firmly.

Time to break out some Rust-Oleum spray paint. Hammered bronze because that was the only brown colored spray paint that I had on hand.

Everything received two coats of spray paint. Once dry I used the dry brushing paint technique with white Waverly Chalk Paint, leaving some of the darker hammered bronze showing through. Sorry I don’t have a photo of this step.

Then I broke out my favorite antiquing medium only to find out that it wasn’t going to work well on the white chalk paint. At least for the look that I desired. The chalk paint absorbed to much of it making it darker then I intended.

So back to the drawing board. What to do? It wasn’t quit the look that I was after, the chalk paint was to white, and the antiquing medium made it way to dark.

Deciding to give it a try using some Burnt Umber Acrylic paint that was watered down heavily, I lightly brushed it on then immediately wiped it off, so as not to darken it up too much.

 

 

Looking better but still not the color that I was after, but the hubby really loved my Thrift Store Candle Holder Bundt Pan Makeover. He said that it reminded him of stone, not so sure about that but I will just go with that for now. I can always change it later on down the road if I want.

 

 

But for now, this will work, it’s going in the master bath to hold some of my everyday items. Later on once the remodel is finished I may need to change it, but that’s the great thing of repurposing. The item can always be changed.

I think that my thrift store candle holder Bundt pan makeover would make a cute jewelry organizer as well.

    Linda I don’t know about you but I think this is a real beauty. The combination of the candle holder and pan makes a for a very pretty look. I’m sure the color will grow on you. I find it quite refreshing.

      Thank you Mary! The color is starting to grow on me. I pulled out another candle stick and platter out of my stash so I can make another.

    I agree with hubby Linda. It looks like stone and it’s a great makeover. It looks like something from ancient Greece or somewhere exotic like that 😉

      Oh wow, Thank you Michelle! You really think so? It has kind of grown on me now, but just have to wait to see how it looks once we get the master bath finished, if we ever do. Got to get back at it to finish, LOL 😉

    I really like this makeover Linda! A clever use of 2 items. I’ve been on the hunt for a squat candle holder like this b/c it has a lot of repurposing uses. Hopefully I’ll find one soon.

      Thank you Florence! Try Goodwill if you have one close. Ours always seem to have a lot of candle holders. Now that I say that next time I go looking I won’t find any. LOL

    Such a good pairing of shapes especially with the finish. We are always needing containers to hold things around here and this would fit well on our coastal place too 🙂 Pinned!

      Thank you Wendi! I got lucky with the candle stick because it was held together with a screw, so all I had to do is get a longer screw and drill the hole through the bundt pan. There was no way these two could be glued together because of their shapes, and I really liked the look of the bundt pan on this candle stick. Thanks for pinning!

    Linda, this is so cool! You could use it for so many things, the added height would help it round out any grouping. It might be a great planter for succulents! Although the finish wasn’t quite what you were going for I think it’s gorgeous. I would have never thought that it didn’t come this way! Genius re-purpose. I love it.

      Thank you Nikki! It would make a really cute succulent planter. Maybe I will make another one for that. This one is going in the master bath. The more I see the color the more it’s growing on me.

    What a great idea to put them together like that! I am not very creative and would have never thought of it!

      Hi Carlee! I wouldn’t of thought of putting them together either, but I have been seeing a lot of 2 and 3 tier racks and wanted to give it a try. I was watching for a wooden bowl. But since that is what I was wanting I never ran across another at Goodwill so I came up with that, and very happy how it turned out. Now I’ve been watching around wanting to make another, but haven’t found what I want yet.
