I found this candle holder at Hobby Lobby for only $2. It reminded me of grass, so I thought I would bring it home, spray paint it green, add a glass vase to the middle, insert some lovely flowers, and put it in the middle of my table.
Then my son said something that changed all my plans. He was looking at it like this and said, “hey this looks like the sun.” So I took at look at it and decided to make it look even more like the sun.
Since the pieces were made of metal I carefully bent them down and made the candle holder flat.
The key word here is carefully. Apparently I wasn’t careful enough because I broke 1 totally off and made 2 really loose. I tried super glue but for some reason that didn’t want to hold in this area. Then I tried regular Gorilla glue and it worked after I held the piece up with a fork for about 2 hours.
I had the little mirrors leftover from the other sunburst mirror I made. I only put the mirrors on the end of the rays this time (mostly because that’s all I had).
I had to buy a 4″ mirror for the center but it was only $1. So the total cost for the mirror comes to $3.
I love the mirrors together. Now I need one more. I want it to be similar to both of them but different. Any suggestions?
