Makes 1 finial
What You Will Need
- Different-sized pieces variety of candle holders, small pots, or porcelain bowls
- E-6000 glue
- Spray paint color of your choice. I used brown, black and antique brass
Instructions
- Make sure to wipe down all of your base pieces with a damp cloth. This will help the glue adhere better, and the pieces remain firmly in place.
- Taking all of your base pieces, start to map out which pieces you would like to use and how they should fit together.
- Once you have everything in place, it's time to get gluing! Using the E-6000 glue, carefully adhere the pieces together. Make sure they are completely secure before setting them aside to dry.
- When the glue has set, take your spray paint and begin painting each piece - don't forget those hard-to-reach spots too.
- Once the paint has dried, you have a beautiful finial to add to your home. Try it out on a mantel or shelf to give your space an extra decorative touch.
