TALL {table leg} Candlesticks

Sorry for the lack of posts lately!

My parents got me the whole Twilight series for Mother's Day.....needless to say, I've been doing a lot of reading!

I saw this picture from Pottery Barn a few months ago, and have been dying to have TALL candlesticks.
So lovely!

Then, I saw a post over at Impatienty Praying for Patience.  She turned newel posts (kind of like a banister) into tall candlesticks.  I knew I had to try this!

Supplies Needed:

• Unfinished wood Table Legs (found @ Lowe's.  Home Depot does not carry these)
•  Unfinished wood Circles (found @ Michael's) in these sizes:
• 4 in, 7 in, 10 in (2 of each)
• Wood Glue or Gorilla Glue
• Saw
• Spray paint  

I went to my local Lowe's, and found these beauties.

I loved how chunky they were, and the details were nice too.

I picked up some wood circles from Michael's:

I started by sawing off part of my table legs.  I thought they were a little too thick at the bottom

Next, using Gorilla Epoxy glue, I attached the legs to the 10" circles

While those were drying, I worked on the "top" of my candlesticks.

Take the 4 inch circle, and the 7 inch circle, and glue them together.
Like this:

Then, glue the "top circles" to the top of your candlestick, like this:
(turned them upside down; this will insure a better bond w/the glue)

Next, spray paint!

After a few light coats; Voila!

Some more shots:

I love them!

The BEST part?

Total Cost: $25 for each candlestick!
