Estate Sale Treasures. Would you buy these?

I went to an Estate Sale on Friday mainly looking for a small Christmas tree ... but ... look what I bought. 
 

My first stop is usually the garage or work shop. Show me metal pieces with time-worn paint and I want them. 


I was a big spender ... $4.00 for the two sets of vintage furniture pipe clamps ... just put a piece of pipe in between and there you have a clamp. 

The wheel thing is a part of a pully of some sort ... there again, it was the color and only $1.50. Nice bargain.

 
Now you are beginning to see my plan to use them.

 
Don't they make interesting candle holders?
 

This is really thinking outside the box and I love it.

Happy Christmas.

DIY ... Red and White Button Candle Holder

 Sweet little candle holder for almost any occasion. 

I took a 6" clear glass dessert or salad plate ... placed a LED tube candle in the middle and hot-glued red, white and clear buttons all around. Buttons with a shank were nice for building up the layers.

Any color scheme could be used. This was made last year for a Christmas present for a friend. 

I tied some vintage material around the top and added a rusty key. Burlap or lace would look nice with it.    

 

FUN ... QUICK and EASY to make. 

Not to early to be thinking about Christmas presents.

Blessings,
