DIY Rustic Candlestick Holder
Today I’m sharing with you this easy DIY Rustic Candlestick Holder. When I saw this on Liz Marie Blog I knew it would look great in our dining room!
It makes a big statement but is still simple and sleek. Plus all of these candles add a cozy glow perfect for winter.
This was super easy to make and the only expense was the candles.
My father in law gave us a pretty 4×4 piece of cedar handy hubby cut down to 42 inches. You will want to lay your piece out on your table to see what length would be best for yours.
I just love the different colors in cedar wood. It smells great too.
After it was cut to size we measured 4 and 6 inches in from the ends to start placing the holes.
Our candle holes are 4 inches apart center to center.
Then handy hubby drilled the holes.
And there you have it!
After the holes were in, we melted wax and dripped it into them to prevent the candlesticks from wobbling. Thanks Liz Marie for the tip!
What do you think? I love it! I set it on a winter scarf to add softness and texture.
This centerpiece is perfect for a winter table! I love the rustic wood with the dressier candlesticks.
And it doesn’t crowd your table!
I hope you enjoyed this quick DIY! Thank you to the always inspiring Liz Marie for this great idea!
XOXO,
Jo
Joanna I love this! So perfect!
