I started by painting the top with Folk Art Home Decor Chalk white paint. I painted both candle holders with 2 coats of paint and let them dry between each coat. Once they were painted I let them dry completely. I also decided to keep the base as it was to pay tribute to the original candle holder.

I pulled the bases off 2 dollar store solar lights and place them into the candle holders. They fit perfectly!
