I'm not sure where I picked up these fleur de lis candle holders. I believe it was a couple of years ago at Big Lots. Anywho, the candles got a little icky and wouldn't light anymore. The glass has a kind of iridescent glow to it. A little boring if you ask me so I got busy preparing for a quickie makeover. After removing all of the gross wax, I gave each a couple of coats...

I mod podged each image on and then gave each a quick spray of clear paint. Once the paint was dry, I added some German glass glitter and some random...
Ever start a project and end up scratching your head halfway through? That's what happened to me with these fleur de lis candlesticks. I picked them up from a thrift store last week. They were originally white but a little grungy. I thought they would look good with a chocolate brown makeover but... They went back to white. I did indeed paint them brown but it was a flat brown and they looked, well, icky. So...
