Repurposed Pedestal Tea Light Candle Ideas
I've saved these light covers for a long time. They came on an outdoor set of string lights. When the lights burned out I kept the shades and they've come in pretty handy!
A while back I made a centerpiece with grain sack and tea lights using these shades. You can read all about that project by following the bold blue link.
Today I'm using a few more shades from my stash of metal bits and pieces and marrying them with a few other scraps from my workshop to create pedestal tea light candles that will look beautiful at Christmas time.
I attached the shades with hot glue to a very chippy piece of spindle wood for this one and tied on a red gingham bow.
The next one used the metal piece of a repurposed lamp with a bow and a sprig of glass beads.
Lit with tea light candles they have a warm beautiful glow.

The third light in this set was made on top of a vintage wooden wire spool with a bow and a gem attached.
Together they make a cute little set of tea lights that were free and saved from the trash.
It's easy to create unique tea lights using bits and pieces from old projects. It goes to show that we can reuse old pieces, save money and keep the junk out of the land fills.
