PB Inspired Silver Egg Stands {Dolen Diaries for The Crafting Chicks}

Hello friends! I’m SO thrilled to be back hanging out with you and the Crafting Chicks again! Easter is a big deal here in the Dolen household and I couldn’t wait to get started on my first Easter project of the year! I spied some Mercury Glass Egg Stands in the Pottery Barn catalog and thought they were super cute & fun! I decided to make my own PB Inspired Silver Egg Stands.

To make your own PB Inspired Silver Egg Stands you’ll need:

  • wooden egg
  • wooden candle stick
  • epoxy
  • spray paint {I used silver metallic and mirror finish}

This piece didn’t allow the egg to sit flat on top of the the candle stick. I took a screw driver and lifted up the edges…

then folded the edges down into itself.

I made sure I had all the stickers and tags peeled off the eggs and candle sticks before I squeezed out the expoy.

Then I mixed the two gels together. *This stuff sets up fast so be prepared!

I quickly spread the epoxy on the bottom of the egg and the top of the candle stick.

Then I stuck the egg right onto the top of the candle stick and let the epoxy dry. *With our climate I let the epoxy sit for 15 minutes before I began painting just to make sure they were secure before I started handling them.

Once the expoy was set, I sprayed the egg stands with the metallic silver paint. After the second coat of silver, I sprayed on a coat of the mirror finish. I had never used the mirror finish spray paint and I love it! It added a bit of depth to the finish that the plain silver just didn’t have. I can’t wait to find the perfect home for my PB Inspired Egg Stands! I may even play with other finishes! Perhaps a shabby chic chippy white or a sweet & soft pastel!?!
