Antique Wire Spool Candle Holder
Sometimes a project comes from a very unexpected place.
Like this one!
In the center of the spool was a very cool antique label. When I researched the company, I found that it was over 100 years old.
I wanted to preserve this label by creating a project around this gorgeous label.
At first I thought I could make a wooden base for it but after several failed attempts I had another idea.
I decided to use an old weight I had laying around the workshop, the circle in the center is the perfect size.
I had to drill the hole in the spool center a bit larger to fit a candle and then painted it with a little of the silver spray paint.
It's a very industrial piece and will look beautiful when the candle burns.
I love preserving a little bit of history. I bet the guy that put that label on the spindle over 100 years ago never imagined it would be a candle holder someday!
