DIY WOOD SLAB CANDLE HOLDERS

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.
I 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)

To get started we drilled five evenly spaced holes into the wood slab.

Note: We definitely don’t recommend the “between your feet method” while drilling – not safe. We suggest using vices if you have them.

It only took five minutes to drill all the holes. You’ll just want to make sure they fit a tea light candle.

And here are the results:

This DIY wood slab candle holder would work wonderfully as a centerpiece for a rustic wedding, baby shower, party, or fall table decor. Not to mention it is super inexpensive!
