I found this old bicycle horn that was missing the bulb on a dollar table at a flea market and was inspired to make a candle holder. I took a block of wood and drilled a hole in it. I upholstered  it with a 1" thick piece of foam and canvas that I hand stamped with a harlequin pattern. I then cut a slit in the fabric and foam with an exacto-knife and added wood glue to the hole I had drilled. I lightly tapped the horn into the hole with a rubber mallet (it was a tight fit) and let it sit a couple of days to dry.  The end result was a gorgeous and unique candle holder that breathed new life into that old horn.
