I love winter. I love those lilac, blue and white colors of it, the coolness, noises that snow makes when it's really cold (in Poland -20C degrees is quite normal:)) Now at the end of March in Poland there's still -7 Celsius degrees so I'm posting this project i made before Christmas. You definitely know those swedish candelabra. I had a plain one lying in my cabinet for a few years. Inspired by winter beauty and Frozen Autumn music i decided to revamp it! I used autumn leaves from my garden to decorate this lamp.

Clean your candelabra of necessary. If its oily, use alcohol or nail varnish remover. Paint it white with acrylic paint mixed with water - it should be a thin emulsion. Put at least three layers.
Mix paints to create lilac color (let the paint not be equal - darker or lighter color is an extra touch). After the candelabra is quite dry (the surface shouldn't be watery)paint your leaves with lilac aint and stamp it on the candelabra.
If necessary use varnish to finish your work. Let it dry compeletely and you're done!
