Urban Nest

I just finished a quick and very satisfying little project. I was buying some moulding for another project when I stumbled across several bins of wooden furniture feet at Home Depot. I thought that they would make really fun candle holders, and if you don’t count primer and paint drying time, they only took about half an hour to whip up.

I already had most of the materials needed for this project, but I did have to buy a 3/4″ woodboring drill bit and some paint. For less than $25, I was able to add a punch of color to my summer table setting.

I went for a bold and glossy yellow, but you could use any color or how about silver leaf. They could even be embellished with furniture tacks. There were a few styles of furniture feet to choose from, and I’m thinking my next set will be for tea lights. If you want to make some too, you can download the instructions here.
