I am a simple country girl, and with that comes a deep appreciation for simple yet beautiful items. This week's Do-It-Ur-Self project was found as I was darting in and out of 30-minute craft project ideas on BHG.com--my mom would be so proud of me... her style & interest in simple home beautification tactics are starting to rub off on me as I get older. I hope you have fun, because I personally can't wait to try this out and post the results of my test-run.
Rustic Wire Candle Holders
Create an easy candle holder using wire. This tip is compliments of Better Homes & Gardens, so visit their site for the complete collection of 30-minute crafting projects!
What You'll Need
Drill
Bits
18-gauge wire
3-inch-thick pieces of wood or logs
Strong adhesive (such as E6000)
Wire cutters
Dripless taper candles
Make It
Using a drill bit to fit the wire, drill an off-center hole in each wood piece.
Cut an 18-inch-long piece of wire for each candle. Glue one end of the wire into the hole. Let the glue dry.
Wrap the wire around candle. Shape the wire end into a curlicue.
Once you try this, please don't hesitate to post your opinions of the project~ And UPLOAD the photos showing us your attempt at creating a wonderfully rustic candle holder that you create! I'd love to share opinions and tips!
