CORK & VASE CANDLE HOLDER

* UPDATE: Please excuse the poor quality of these images. These were some of my first posts :) Ill try and update the images soon.


I find that almost every weekend I'm pacing the house trying to figure out ways that I can alter something. I have to say that when I used to live in a dorm room my roommate and I would completely rearrange a few times a month but once I got married that soon changed. I remember the first time I rearranged our room, Marcus walked in and had the most horrified look on his face. Needless to say he cant handle that sort of change, it's as if the his life has been turned upside-down. So I have now feed my need for change with little things. 

This project came about when I was frustrated with the look of our bedroom. I decided to scout the house for something, I came to a vase full of wine corks I had collected and a few small vases and candle holders from our wedding. I decided they would work well together.. this is what I came up with. 

here is the vase, tea candle, candle holder and wine corks
place the candle in the holder
then place the candle holder in the vase
then begin placing the wine corks around the candle holder 
  here is the final result, a cute little accent piece!
