Candle Holder or Something Else?

Thanks for linking--keep 'em coming!  And don't forget to visit the links and leave a kind word.  Let's face it, a "wow that's fabulous" really can go a long way.

I had so much fun coming up with different ideas for the step ladder that I thought I'd try it again with a different object for project #13.  I started with a $1 candle holder from the thrift store (ignore the dust on it please).
How about have a little fun in the bathroom and use it to make the lowly extra roll of tp look special?
 
I know you have all seen the dessert stands made from a plate and candlestick.  This is a temporary one.  Use some scotch double stick tape on the top of the candle holder and one of your plates--it holds well.

Works great on a desk, helps keep flat surfaces clutter free by elevating your supplies.
And it makes a bottle of wine on a buffet stand out.
 
I added a dowel (secured with the double stick tape or glue for a permanent fix) and it becomes a ribbon holder (remove the cardboard circles on the ribbon, secure ribbon with a piece of tape)
or to hold bracelets.
What fun ideas to you have for a candle holder?

  3. Last summer I actually bought a wooden candlestick holder that the original owners had used to hold their toilet paper. They had affixed a fat dowl rod (about an inch or two wide) to the top of the candle stick and wha-la! TP holder! I grabbed so many ideas from your post! Thanks!

  8. I love it for bracelets!

    I also love the tp idea. That would be great for an extra roll when you have a party. Then guests don't have to be worried about running out & it is a cute display :)
