My first stop was Goodwill. They had an abundance of Christmas items just waiting for a new home.
The first item that caught my eye was this beautiful metal Christmas tree candle holder.
I thought $5 was a great price for such a sturdy piece that will surely last a long time.
The candle ring was a little outdated, but I loved the design with the stars and candy canes. I disassembled the piece and gave it a thorough cleaning with a one part vinegar two part water solution. This will remove any dirt or grime to prep it for paint. This solution also worked great on cleaning the glass votive.
I spray painted it with two thin coats of a matte black spray paint that I already had on hand. Once dry, I applied a tiny amount of Gold Leaf Rub N Buff to the stars and candy cane. I used a mini flocked wreath that was on sale from Hobby Lobby and added a few additional Christmas picks and pine cones. Here is the result.
I added a battery operated votive candle to illuminate a soft warm glow.
This would look great on a side table or even as a centerpiece.
Grapevine Stars
On the bottom shelf at Goodwill, I luckily found 6 mini grapevine star wreaths.
I immediately knew what I wanted to do with these beauties. Starting by removing all of the embellishments and placing the greenery and red berries in a basket. I can use these on future projects. (it’s not hoarding if you use them😂). The berries were a little too bright for what I had in mind.
Using a brass gold bell pick from Hobby Lobby, I removed the bells and placed one in the center of each of the stars. Attached three of the stars together to form a set and embellished each one with greenery, a darker burgundy berry stem, and frosted greenery pieces and added a new bow at the top.
I created two sets, one to hang under each of the lights on the sides of my garage door. I used metal clips that are safe to use on vinyl siding and doesn’t require you to put a hole on the outside of your house.
With just a few slight changes, I think these turned out gorgeous.
Reindeer Center Piece
This gold pillar candle tray was surely a pleasant find.
It was also a labor of love to remove all of the greenery and berries because they were firmly pressed into styrofoam. The styrofoam was attached to the tray with what seemed like silicone. After about 20 minutes, I was able to remove everything and give it a good cleaning with my vinegar water solution.
It was a nice surprise to find three reindeer hidden behind all of the florals. Just like the tree candle holder project, I sprayed two thin coats of matte black spray paint. Once dry, I applied Gold Leaf Rub N Buff around the rim of the candle stands, the tray itself, and the edges of each of the deer. Also, I added in fresh new greenery picks and pine cones. Using remote control battery operated candles to top this piece off.
This will make the perfect center piece for my dining room table this Christmas season.
Did I mention that I only paid $5 for this piece? The greenery and pine cones really compliment the freshly painted reindeer.
