DIY: Twig Turned into Candle Holder

Did you know that Greeks are very much into crafts?
I've previously mentioned some of those amazing fellow bloggers here and here,
and now I'd like you to meet a new one. It's a young couple living at the north of Greece and
they're both very creative.  Their blog is called KaPa. Me without you... tea without a bisquit!
How lovable is this name? Well, take a look at what they did with a plain twig that they came
 across during their walk in nature.  I'll let the photos do most of the talking!

Glued the whole twig onto a wooden round base
Final shape

After it is completely dry glued on some little birds
                     
Then spray-painted all white
                
Some fresh flowers, some candles and it's done!



















 
 

A super easy, at no-cost handmade mini project! Love it!
Well what do you think?

  3. Hi Olgs,

    Thanks for visiting my site earlier today! You created a beautiful piece and the spray paint makes it all so cohesive. The little birds are very cute! Also, the wall of the space where it is displayed is gorgeous! Love the stone.
