PB Inspired Silver Egg Stands
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!?!
Thanks SO much for letting me share my PB Inspired Silver Egg Stands with you! I would love for you to pop on by Dolen Diaries to say hi and don’t forget to pin this Easter craft to your Spring and Easter boards!
So pretty and classic! These would be gorgeous with some flowers at the center of my Easter table!
