  Step 1

  Organize supplies:
  I got some cheap votive holders at evil super-giant Wal-Mart and used some paints that were sitting around. For the painting tools I chose a sponge and a sponge-like brush.

• 

  Step 2

  I taped off one of the candle holders with some masking tape and proceeded to paint over the entire surface with a sponge-tipped brush.

• 

  Step 3

  For the other holders I used a sponge to sponge-paint. I think that these came out the best looking out of the two methods.

• 

  Step 4

  Let paint dry and you have some new candle holders. This is one of the sponge-paint examples.

  P.S. They look much cooler in real life than in the photos.

Thanks for all the positive feedback. I ended up making a bunch of these last night. Now, what to do with all of them...

the 3rd one looks pretty awsome. I bet it would look cool with lots of different colors. (=
