Craft Tutorial: Spray Painted Lace Candle Holders

"Spray Painted Lace Candle Holders" by Mark Montano from The Big Ass Book Of Crafts.

See more sample projects at http://www.bigasscrafts.com/

If you buy the large prayer candles and want to decorate them a bit
more this is the perfect project for you. You can also take any small jar
or juice glass and use this technique to make it into a wonderful
candleholder.

Here's what you'll need:
Candle in glass or some glass containers
Black spray paint
Krylon spray adhesive
1/4 yard of lace in a pattern that you like
Newspaper for your workspace
Scissors

Here's How:
Cut a piece of lace that fits all the way around your glass container
or candle.
Trim the edges so it fits over the glass perfectly.
You can do this by measuring the circumference of the glass and the
height.
Cut your lace this size
Spray the Krylon spray adhesive to the lace. Be generous or else it it won't
stick to the glass. 2 coats of it should be enough.
Stick your lace to the glass
Lightly spray the glass with the black spray paint
Lightly spray it again until you've sprayed all of the glass in
between the lace.
Let dry for about 15 minutes
Remove the lace.

SUGGESTION:
If you want to take it to the next level, add some glitter glue or
rhinestones to your candleholder and make it shine.
