DIY terracotta candlesticks

Step 1
Select three terracotta plant pots and matching saucers. Fleur went for one that was a bit bigger than the other two. Seal these with Resene Aquapel & Terracotta Sealer.

Step 2
Use industrial strength adhesive to glue the saucers to the bottom of the pots. Leave them to cure for a day or two.

Step 3
Paint the pots and saucers in your choice of Resene colours. Fleur used, from left to right, Resene Upside and Resene Boost, Resene Salted Caramel and Resene Ocean Waves and Resene Boost and Resene Good To Go.

Step 4
When the paint has dried, paint over it with one coat of Resene Clearcoat UVS. This gives the pots a lovely shiny, glossy look. It also helps the paint colour last longer and the gloss finish is easier to clean than a lower sheen finish.
