Escape to Home: Farm chic candlestick

In the video below you can learn how to make a set of farm chic candlesticks:

The three Cs:

Can I even do this? It's a difficulty level of a two.

Commitment: It will take around three hours with dry time.

Cost: Around $20.

You can find spindles like the ones used in this project at Home Depot for about $5.

First, drill a hole in the top with a 1-inch drill bit, to fit your candle.

Then screw it onto a regular piece of wood.

Next, paint and distress the wood. Sue used chalk paint.

For the last step, use low luster varnish.
