Servings: 1
Cost: $10
Equipment
- Drill and drill bit 1/4″ or 5/16” depending on your candle size
Ingredients
- Wood boards
- Paint any color
- Mini taper candles
Instructions
- Paint each board end. We did 2-3 coats on each board, depending on how well it coated. We also chose to leave 1 board unpainted to show the wood grain.Optional: Stain the ends of the wood boards. You will need to paint the whole top of the board you choose to be on the top of the stack.
- Once the paint is dry, decide how many candles you would like on the top and make small marks where you plan on placing them.
- Drill straight down for each mark. We drilled in 1/4 inch deep. You can choose to go further depending on how far you want your candles to go in. Of course, you could do the drilling before you painted. It works either way!
- Glue the top of each board and place them together. You don’t need to use too much glue. Just a simple zig-zag will do! Clean everything up and place your candles in, and light!
