We were wandering around Bunnings a few weeks ago (everyone does this on the weekend right?) and saw these wooden blocks on the shelves. I thought they'd be perfect for an easy DIY project.
After umming and ahhing over what to make we decided to make a DIY candle holder. The original plan was to create two candle holders, each made of two blocks. After spraying them I decided they look better as a stack of four so I have only one for now. A good excuse to go and buy four more so we have a pair!
For colour I decided on black and used Dulux Spraypax in Gloss Black. I hadn't used a gloss spray paint before and found it does have its challenges... after spraying the blocks outside it felt like every time I came back to check on them I'd find bits of dust/sand/miscellaneous items stuck to the blocks!! The downside of living with a sea breeze I suppose!!

They look great, like the gloss paint.
