Our DIY Candelabra

Ignore my messy bedroom.:cool:

These were real simple to make and the best part less than $ 5.00 for everything. I have to add the Ivy roses and Carnations and spray paint them white or gold.
Here is the inspiration pic

Ok here goes:
I bought 2 glass globe holder from hobby lobby. They are in the section with the hurricane lamp shades. I bought the ones that have a rubber washer, so they stick in the pipe, I found that they were to big for the pipe with the washers on so I removed them and glued globe in.

I next bought an 3/4 inch withe pvc pipe. It was 1.75
I bought 4 t connection for 25 cents each make sure to fit all sides to your pipe before you buy them

I came home and stood the pipe up outside. ( it is longer than 8 feet would not stand up inside) I used a black sharpie and marked where I wanted the first one to be cut it ended up being 42 inches.

I cut the next one 4 inches shorter

I then cut 2- 6 inch pieces
I precut 4- 4 inch pieces
and 1- 3 inch pipe

the 3 inch pipe I added 2 of the t connectors to make c straight bar. I then added the 2-6 inch bars and put the connectors onto the ends sideways this time. and the 4-4 inch bars as legs. I then put the tall pipes into the connectors. Painted and decorated with hot glue.

That is the end fully assembled do that with both ends. In the above pic you will notice there is now a full T section. That is the section of pipe you see in below pic

That section is now connected to the smaller spacer pipe
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b38/mydurango/diy%20ideas/95095414149_290_1.jpg Then the other t connector is attached you will then have something similar to this http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b38/mydurango/diy%20ideas/95095658757_290_1.jpg
