DIY candelabra centerpiece

Filed under: Do-It-Yourself, Receptions

Take a garage sale candelabra and some of your grandmother's teacups, and what do you get? With a little ceramic glue and various things to put in the cups, you get a funky, one-of-a-kind centerpiece. If you just want to create one, you might even have the materials at hand, or can find them in the family. If you want to make six or eight or ten of them, though, you'll likely have to hunt a little further.

Possible storehouses of crafting goodness? The attics of older relations. Thrift stores. Ebay. Garage sales. If you have a local buy-and-sell newspaper, put an ad there -- or on good old Craigslist. When you have enough bases and cups, you could paint the bases the same color for a sense of uniformity, or you could leave them in all their irregular glory.
