Recycled Candle with Crushed Glass Bling

I love to burn candles, especially when I’m cooking with onions.  Problem is, I can’t seem to throw the empty candle jars away.  Today, I’m going to show you my little trick for removing the wax from those candle jars.

Then, I’ll show you how I went from this:

By now you know me well enough to know that if I don’t have what I need, I make it.  I wanted some copper colored flatware for a Fall tablescape.  I couldn’t believe how expensive it was!  $54.00?  I don’t think so… I made mine for $2.64.

I found some plain silver flatware at Walmart.  They had 4 packs for  $.88 each so I got a pack of knives, spoons & forks.  I washed & dried them, but in hind site, I should have used an S.O.S. pad to roughen up the surface.  Live & learn.

Then using painter’s tape, I taped off everything that I didn’t want painted.  I used 2 coats of metallic copper paint & 2 coats of Krylon’s Triple Thick clear glaze on both sides.

I love the way they turned out, and it was just what my tablescape needed.

Let me know what you think!
