Equipment

  • Drill
  • 3/4-inch spade drill bit

Ingredients

  • 1 wood board
  • 1 fine sand paper optional
  • Taper candles in varying heights, sizes and colors for a staggered look

Instructions

  • Decide on the number of candles you want your holder to accommodate. Mark the exact spots where you’ll drill the holes for the taper candles. Ensure the spacing allows enough room for each candle without them touching when lit. We did a more freestyle approach and staggered the holes all the way down the wood.
  • With a drill and the appropriate drill bit, carefully drill holes at the marked locations. Drill straight down, ensuring the holes are deep enough to hold the taper candles securely.
  • Optional: Using a super fine grit sand paper, smooth the wood for a more finished look
