DIY // WOOD SLAB CANDLE HOLDERS

Vintage KC Magazine challenged me and some other local Kansas City creatives to create something from a simple wood slab (the end results are featured in the latest issue of the magazine.
DIY  //  WOOD SLAB CANDLE HOLDERS, Oh So Lovely BlogI had been wanting to create some simple wood slab candle holders for quite some time, so my idea came to me pretty quickly. I had no idea it would be as quick and easy as it was.
You will need:
1. Round wood slab
2. Tea light candles
3. A drill with 1.5″ a spade bit (the bit was only around $5 from Home Depot, fyi)
I grabbed the only three items I would need for the project (+ my husband, Ted) and got to work (I mostly supervised).

 

To get started Ted secured the wood slab between his feet* and drilled five evenly spaced holes into the slab. Five minutes later we had a finished product.

* We don’t recommend the “between your feet method” while drilling. We suggest using vices if you have them. We were just lazy. 🙂

This candle holder would work wonderfully as a centerpiece for a diy/rustic wedding or your fall table decor…and not to mention it is super inexpensive!
