Stick Wrapped Candle Holder and Table Runner

 Every once in a while at the thrift store, something catches my eye and I can't wait to run home and create with it... that was today!

See that awesome roll of sticks?!


I wasn't sure exactly what it was, I thought it might be a roll of placemats. 


Whatever it was it was going home with me!

When I got home the first thing I did was to unroll the sticks.

I found out it was a super long table runner! 


I love it! 


I found one similar on Overstock, I got a bargain! 


But I was truthfully hoping to use the sticks. 


So I did, I rolled out the runner to fit on my table.

I cut it to the length I wanted and tied off the ends.

I was left with a gorgeous table runner and a pile of sticks!

So I got to work. 


My plan was to cover the outside of this glass vase with sticks like I did for this driftwood vase.

I decided however to try this... 


I cut a length of lace ribbon to fit around the vase.

I cut all of my sticks in half and glued them with hot glue to the lace ribbon.

Now I just had to wrap the lace ribbon with the sticks around the vase!

I used a piece of drop cloth ribbon to wrap around the outside of the sticks to doubly secure them.

I dropped in a battery powered votive candle and I had the cutest stick wrapped candle holder to match my new table runner! 


It could also work as a beautiful flower vase!

It was a win-win!!

Oh and the extra sticks?


They look great right here next to my favorite Christmas gift!
