From Candle Stick Holder To Pastry Stand

 This project is an easy and fun way to breath new life into that old candle stick holder you no longer use.







1) I started out with a wooden candle stick, wood circle plaque, and a small wooden circle

2) sand the wooden plaque and candle stick
 Supplies:
* wooden candle stick
* wooden plaque
* small wooden circle  
   (optional)
* strong glue
* sand paper
* primer
* paint
* scrapbook paper
* iron on vinyl (found in  
   fabric stores)
* spray adhesive
* a weight or something heavy
* scissors
* extra paper for a template


 
3) find the enter of the plaque

4) trace the wooden circle onto it


5) put glue on the rim of the candle stick and glue down the wooden circle
6) weigh it down and let it dry
7) now put glue on the wooden circle and line it up on the traced circle on the bottom of the plaque
8) turn upside down, weigh down and let it dry


9) prime the stand and lightly sand between coats
10) paint
11) pick out scrapbook paper and cut a circle to fit onto plaque


12) to make the paper water resistant cut out a piece of iron on vinyl and iron it directly onto the front of the paper. (follow manufacturer's instructions for
further instruction of how to apply the product)

13) add whatever design you want on the edge of your vinyl coated paper. I made a stencil first and then traced the stencil onto the back of the vinyl coated paper before cutting it out.


14) spray adhesive the vinyl coated paper onto the stand
15) cushion, turn upside down, weigh down, and let it dry
16) your done


Enjoy!
