This is the metal candle holder that I will be changing into a gazebo. I took out the glass panels around this candle holder as you can see in the photo.
I had these wooden fence pieces that I purchased from a garage sale which I will be using. You can also buy them at a craft store.
I cut some pieces off the wood fencing to make railings for the gazebo.
As you can see in this photo I glued the wooden railings around the gazebo.
The gazebo needs some platform steps which I will make from pieces of balsa wood, this wood is easy to cut.
This is what it looked like after I added the pieces of balsa wood.
I also added some pieces of the wood fencing material around the top of the gazebo, as you can see in the photo.
This is a closeup of the gazebo at this point.
I added some of the cardboard roof shingles that I make from cardboard. You can look up how I made these in my dollhouse blogs. They are easy to make and FREE!!
This is the finished gazebo. I painted some areas a brown color and other areas white. I hope this helps you in making something different. If you find a candle holder at a garage sale you can make one of these. This gazebo will be used for one of my dollhouses in a near future blog, keep your eyes open for it.
