- Take the hook and the plier and the a clamp (or a wrench in my case)
- clamp the end of the hook and using the pliers bend the hook so that it will fit onto the curve of the metal wiring
- Then take the E6000 and place the glue on the inside of the newly curved hook
- Place the hooks under the curved part of the metal wiring so that the glue is able to set in place
- When the glue is set, take the whole upper part of the candelabra and glue it to the base with the opening of the glass.

- Let the E6000 set and cure for 24 hours
- Then take the spray paint and cover the whole candelabra.
Review
Overall I think this turned out really well! The detailing looks great and I am thinking about adding touches of gold to the edges to give it more dimension. I think I could have done better with the hooks, and gotten one more of the over the door hooks so that each piece of wiring would've had a hook attached.
