Thrift to Treasure

I finally finished my wall sconce project that I started HERE.  You can see how I started out with a plain decorative wood plaque and covered it in scrapbook paper.

After searching Goodwill for months I finally found this candle holder that I cut apart with a hacksaw, painted white and hot glued it to the back to make the sconce.

  8. P.S. There is no close up of this because spray painting in the snow is not the best idea ! ;)
