I wish I could, but I can not do CHEVRON. Saddest Day EVER

Spray painting at 1:30 in the morning is not a good thing to do. 

I was attempting the following:

So I got  the perfect candlestick from my BFF Mersiha and a plate from Hobby Lobby for under a dollar and had a grand idea. Here is how it went:

I fought with this BLUE freaking tape for like an hour

And spray painting began!! (at 1:30AM)

And when the tape came off....(no ruler was used in this experiment, obviously)

It looks okay from afar, just don't look to close.

So my stepdad (what would I do without a Tim the Tool man) drilled the top to the bottom.

And here it is! 

So then I took it into the kitchen where it is supposed to go and what do you know, the plate is HUGE! It might just be a cake stand. I might just spray paint the whole thing black. But I tried SOOO hard to make the Chevron part of it all! But the good thing is, it was all under a DOLLAR!
