This candle holder is so versatile. We give them as house warming gifts, anniversary gifts and just because we like our friends.
Use a length of birch wood or paint any piece of wood white. Level the bottom.
Carve out a hole in the top for the glass container. I find my glass candle holders at garage sales, but you can buy them at candle stores. Insert a votive candle.
At this point you can be finished, but I like to add a small amount of scrap scented candle.
Caution: Candle wax is hot when melted and you must carefully handled. Pour it over the votive and you will have a nice scented candle without making a candle if you don't know how.
You are now set for the finishing touches. You might want to give the candle holder as is or you can carve names or initials into the side. Enjoy
