Wire Candles

So I bought this super awesome 50's tool box from my town's Friday night auction at the antique store...my second home! I looked inside and there was some chicken looking wire... so I got the idea to wrap it around my candles that were oh so bare looking!


My first step was to wrap some wire around the candle to see how much I needed. I tried to hot glue it, but that wasn't sticking... gorilla glue would take too long to set, so I busted out this beauty -


The oh so trusty staple gun! LOVE HER!!

I made sure to cut the wire so it would just slightly cover the top of the candle, and also overlap when going around the candle...and then I just stapled.


It may not look so fancy, but it sticks with the rustic feel of it...don't ya think? 

I did the same thing with the other two candles...I heart it!
