How to Make an Outdoor Pedestal Candle


Here is one more project from the old lamp table I found. 



For this one I used the center spindle.

I added a top, bottom and metal dish.



I spray painted it white.


And added a citronella candle.


And Voila! 


It's joining my giant candlestick
on the deck for the summer!



In case you missed it, stop over and see the 

 garden sign
and
raised table tray

 made from this same old lamp.
Like this project?

project straight to you!

    I love it, Susan! I think it's great that you used every part of that table to repurpose into something else. One more thing saved from the landfill! I'm sure that is going to look great at night with both candles lit.

    Great idea, Susan, & they both look so pretty! Since an outdoor candle would melt into a messy puddle in AZ right now, I will have to save this idea for Fall/Winter.....lol!

    You are truly amazing. I didn't know you made 3 things out of that lamp! You're a furniture magician! BTW what kind of wax do you use on it when you're done? Thank you!
