What You Will Need
- Table legs from the home improvement store
- Wood circles from the craft store
- Wood glue
- Finish nails
- Drill
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Texture chalk paint from FolkArt
- Pouncer brush
Instructions
- Find the center of the circle to add the table leg. Draw on two lines that are the same length and touch the outer edges of the circle.
- Connect these two lines from end to end, as shown below. The center of that "X" is the center of your circle.
- Drill a hole large enough to accommodate the screw on the table leg in the center of your circle piece.
- Then, screw in your table leg. Add wood glue to the top of the table leg and add the other circle.
- Secure with finishing nails to hold everything together until the glue dries.
- Start by applying the paint with the pouncer brush in long strokes across the wood, making sure you get all the areas. Then, use a damp cloth to smooth out any brush strokes for an even finish.
- Once your DIY wooden candlesticks have completely dried, you're ready to light up your home with style.
Notes
- The chalk paint from FolkArt is perfect for those that want a rustic, worn, layered look to their projects in just one coat. You can sand it back to reveal part of the wood if you want.
