$7 for pure Decor Bliss

I found these brass candlesticks at my neighborhood garage sale last weekend for $5.  They kind of remind me of tulips or  of the weapon in the "Clue" game. 

 First I dipped them in bowling water to remove any wax.  I'm not sure how else to do it, but it worked.

I also found the fabulously tacky bird sculptures at the dollar store.

I took them, along with a few more projects that I'll post later, in the back-yard and busted out my spray paint.  I gave them a few coats each. Then I glazed them (technique here)

They made their debut at my daughter's 13th B-day Party.

 

Currently, they are hanging out on my piano, but I may move them to my mantel.  They turned out so great, I want to put them everywhere. 

 Thanks for stopping by.
