How to do it
1 Paint the tray with Chalky Vintage-Look paint. Dilute with water if you wish to allow the grain of the wood to show through the surface.
2 Dab Art Metal paint onto the terracotta baubles. Leave to dry. TIP 1: For additional contrasting colours you may use two colours and let them dry between each application. TIP 2: You may sprinkle glitter onto the wet paint.
3 Separate the metal hanger with the loop from the bauble. Fill the bauble with special glue using a pipette. Shake it to distribute the glue evenly and pour the excess glue back into the bottle. Pour glitter through the hole in the bauble using a funnel made from a rolled up piece of paper. Shake again and reattach the metal hanger.
4 Place each of the four pillar candles on a giant metal bottle cap which is secured in the tray with power tack. Decorate with spruce and lametta.
