Candelabra Restyle

Last summer I found this candelabra for .50 while treasure hunting.  It was dirty, covered in wax and coming lose at the joints, but for half a dollar why not?  I love being able to recycle unwanted items into something new and fresh, so this was a project for me.

Take a look at how easy it was to clean up:

Covered in Wax

Here is the candelabra as I found it.  The stainless steel was still nice and shiny, though it contained large splotches of red candle wax.  I was able to tighten the joints by hand and as for cleaning...

Steam Cleaner

I used a handheld steam cleaner to remove the wax and dirt.  Just place a paper towel to protect your sink drain and blast away!  There is something incredibly satisfying about watching a mess disintegrate before your eyes 😉  I have used this cleaner for many projects and household cleaning and I love it.

You can find a similar steamer  here.

Bright & Shiny

A lot of people might choose to leave the candle holder in it's silver finish but since I'm a gold person...

Gold

...spray paint it was!  And now I have a perfectly lovely
golden candelabra that fits right in with my decor.
