Primitive Make Overs.....Candle Sconce

I had so much fun doing these make overs and just love their new  primitive look.  A huge thank you to Tonya  over at My Primitive Creations by Tonya.  This amazing, talented lady has been tutoring me on how to turn wood items into beautiful primitive treasures.  These candle scones are my first attempt.  Tonya has just posted a tutorial on her blog, detailed instructions on how to achieve this primitive look.  Thank you Tonya for sharing your knowledge.

Wood candle scones found at my fav flea market

Purchased 7 of them for 1.00 each

Using Tonya's Priming method

I do need a little more practice on sanding the piece after it is painted.

I think I put too much paint on so therefore it took longer to

sand off the paint.  Also have to remember to sand

with the grain to achieve a natural look.  I got better at  it..... 

I added a vintage table napkin to soften the look

Fell in love with these blackened beeswax ornies

Purchased them off Ebay,  they smell so prim

Who are you

Paper mache rabbits hopped on over for a look see

Miss Whiskers looks a little lonely

Sitting all by herself in her crate

 Who are you----Where did you come from

 I'll share my carrot if you let me stay

Oh my, oh dear......OK

Thank you for visiting today

I have to get back to my sanding projects

Prim Blessings
