I'm hosting an Under The Sea BabyShower for my son Daniel and his long time girlfriend, Jennica, (they got engaged earlier this
year).
Jennica decided about 2 months ago that
the baby shower was either going to be themed for a boy, (King
Triton) or a girl, (Ariel). We found out in July that we're having
a girl, and they're naming her Lilly!
So Ariel's Under The Sea it
is.
One of the decorations we decided to
make was Ariel's candelabra.
And really it has been one of the
easier decorations I've made so far!
I was able to find an old brass candlestick at a thrift store for .90 cents and used silverware which was .30 cents each.
1 – three-tiered candlestick
One knife, one spoon, one fork
Glue gun and glue sticks
Silver spray paint (optional)
Thick twine
How To Put It Together:
Wash the candlestick and remove old
melted wax if necessary. Next, use silver metallic spray paint to
cover the brass color.
If you were able to find a silver
candlestick, not only were you lucky, but you can also skip the
painting step!
Once the freshly washed and painted
candlestick is dry, heat up the glue gun and insert a glue stick.
Make sure to use a heat-resistant surface when working with a glue gun, it does get very hot!
Hold one piece of silverware in one of
the candlestick holders and using the glue gun, glue it into place.
This may take an entire stick of glue to hold each piece of
silverware in place.
Let dry slightly and then make sure it's
straight. Adjust if needed.
Next cut a small piece of twine and wrap it around the bottom of the silverware where it meets the candlestick. This will cover the glue.
Do all the silverware in the same
manner.
Done!
Jennica and I have made so many different Under The Sea decoration and they all turned out great!
I will post more about our Under The Sea Baby Shower and how we made many of the decorations when time allows.
