1. Prepare the Candlesticks
Begin by removing any labels or tags from your candlesticks.
Smear E6000 glue on the end of one candlestick.
On a second candlestick spread hot glue on one side.
Next, stick the two candlesticks together to create a column.
Repeat this step with two more candlesticks.
Balance a heavy object on top of each column while they dry.
Make sure to give the glue plenty of time to dry before moving on to the next step.
2. Paint the Columns
Once the glue is dry, it’s time to apply black acrylic craft paint to your candlestick columns.
Use a sponge paintbrush and make sure to coat each candlestick fully. This may require several layers of paint, so let the paint dry between coats for full coverage.
3. Attach the First Mirror
Once the candlestick columns are fully painted and dried, use E6000 glue and your hot glue gun to attach the bottom of a column to the center of one of the hexagon mirrors.
This will serve as the base of your organizer.
4. Stack the Second Mirror
Next, apply glue to the top of the candlestick column and center another mirror on top of it.
Set the stack aside and allow it time to dry completely.
5. Complete the Top Tier
For the final tier, take your second candlestick column and attach it to the back of the third mirror by applying glue to the center.
Once dry, stack the third mirror on top of the other two to complete your tiered design.
After everything has dried, clean up any excess glue using an X-Acto knife and clean the mirrors with glass cleaner.
