Architectural Salvage as Candle Holder



Once again we return to the vintage doorknob faceplates.  We picked up more of these gems during another trip to a local Architectural Salvage warehouse. If you aren't lucky enough to have one nearby, there are many opportunities to buy great pieces of history online. 

Here is what you need to make this amazing Glowing Architectural Salvage Art:
  • Old Doorknob Faceplates
  • Brass Fasteners
  • Aluminum Flashing
  • Hammer
  • Metal Cutters
  • Screwdriver or Hole Punch
  • Gloves
  • Protective Glass
  • Votive Candles
The process is simple.  The look is amazing.  As always, wear your gloves and protect your eyes. Watch the slideshow below to see how it comes together.  If it does not start for you, click the play button.  As always, if it moves too quickly, hover over it and click the pause button, then the arrows to move at your own pace.

Glowing Architectural Salvage Art.  See it.  Create it.
