Re-do your candles Tutorial

So..are you like me and really really dislike the price of candles? I purchased these rust colored ones a long time ago and they used to match my decor but now that I have completely changed my living room they sort of stick out like a sore thumb.

So what should I do with them?
I mean these 3 little candles cost me at least 10 bucks and I didn't want to have to run out and purchase new ones when I had these perfectly good ones just lying around.
Plus I have a bunch of other things that I want to spend the $10 on...perhaps some new shoes or ice cream...
Anyway here is my solution.

All I did was tape some pretty paper to the candle.

Wrap the paper around the candle and then tape.

As my cool cutter is lost I just trimmed the bottom up with some scissors.

Then I traced the bottom of the candle and cut out a circle for the top, poked a hole in the middle for the wick and VOILA!

The new cost of these cute candle was .59. I got the paper at Hobby Lobby for half price. :)

Candlesticks

I bought these candlesticks FOREVER ago and I love them. They have so much detail and are different from anything that I have ever seen.
The Problem is that they are kind of hum drum. They don't really match any room especially the room that they are currently sitting in which is the living room.
So what do I do with these lovelies? I really love them and don't want to get rid of them, so I am going to ask your opinion on what should be done...

I have thought about painting them white and then glazing them. Spraying them turquoise or a dark brown.

What do you think?
