For such a long time I have been wanting a set of wood candle holders, but the cost for three different sizes, just too pricey for me!
So you all know what I did, I made my own!
From this…
A basket full of various wood pieces and chunky chair legs.
To this….
Creating and gluing the wood pieces together.
To this…
Love them!
After deciding on the placement of the different wood pieces, and gluing them together, I painted all with white chalk paint, distressed a bit by sanding, and sealed all with clear wax.
Topped with battery operated candles to finish.
So simple.
In the end, I was able to make all three for a little over the cost of buying just a small one.
The wood pieces I purchased at Michael’s and Hobby Lobby, using my 40% off weekly coupons.
I purchased the wood chair leg pieces at Home Depot, under $4.00 each.
They will be so festive for the upcoming fall and Thanksgiving season, surrounded by pumpkins and leaves.
When surrounded by evergreens and red berries at Christmas, they will make a lovely, amazing centerpiece.
Candle holders can be used so many places in a home, tables, dressers, buffets, side tables, and painted many colors.
So fun, so simple, and so pleased with the results, and the money I saved by making my own.
Also, so pleased and thankful, that God has given me a bit of creativity.
Creativity to fill my days with projects that give me so much joy in my heart, and add lots of enjoyment to my everyday life.
So blessed!
With love, until my next project!
