Thanks to my brilliant sister, I have the best solution for candelabras!! I bought these candelabras at a thrift store a little while ago. Read all about it here.
I put them on the piano and didn't really think about them until we had a power outtage and needed some light. I put some tapers in and my daughter entertained us. Yep, they are crooked. My sister suggested using ball candles instead. Brilliant!!
I found some white ball candles at Target and tried them out.
What do you think?

That looks much better, and you know it! Your judgment is flawless.
Yes we like! I'm going to go get me some ball candles for my pink candleabra!
Love it! The ball candles make the candleabra less formal and more fun. Thanks for sharing.
Cute! What a fun look!
Cute cute idea! Love the ball candles on the candelabra, very good idea.
Great idea! It looks superb.
That is a great idea! I can never keep tapers in line and this is a fantastic solution. Plus it looks great.
Oh, what pretty candelabras and I do like the round candles! I would have loved to have heard your daughter's concert! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Do we like? We love. Such a pretty touch!

The candelabrs are really pretty and with the ball candles they look somehow modern. That's a very interesting and new look. I like that.

Yeah, I've never been a fan of candelabras, (see can't even spell it!) but this makes them more modern and fun! Aren't sisters wonderful?!?

I have a pewter candelabra on my dresser that I bought at a yard sale about ten years ago. I love it, but with the long tapers, it was a bit too formal for the new casual look I'm going for now. These round balls will be perfect! Thanks, now I can still use my candelabra that I love so much.
Cute idea. That would definitely solve the crooked taper problem! Thanks for sharing your cute find AND your clever solution.
