Candlestick Maker

This poor little whatever it is was looking pretty down when I first saw it--I had no idea what to do with it, but I loved it. 50 cents later, here we are:

My art teacher gave each of her students a basic paint set--very basic. I mixed some black into the fire engine red, and gave her a facelift. Its amazing what a layer of paint will do!

For now she's a candle holder. I'm awaiting the creative juices to come up with something better. Any ideas?
