A great effect can be achieved with porcelain coffee cups. In addition to the beautiful, decorative effect, these DIY candle holders fill the room with a wonderful scent.
Carve wood bark
Wood is a popular material for home decoration and gives any room a rustic feel. Beautiful crafts can be conjured up from wood that look particularly natural and fit perfectly with your home decor. You can find a few simple DIY projects for wooden candle holders below. For the first project you will need tree bark, a cutter, some wire and tea lights. First you should decorate the tree bark (preferably birch bark) with decorative elements of your choice, such as hearts, stars or geometric shapes. You should then form small cups out of the tree bark and place a tea light in each one. Finally, you can make a handle out of wire and leave the candles hanging if desired.
Made of driftwood
You can use an old wooden board for your next project. It can be refreshed as needed, for example with paint or varnish. Then you can use a drill or hand router to drill holes for small tea lights. Depending on how big the wooden board is, you can create several candles next to each other. The resulting candle holder is perfect as a rustic table decoration for the country house.
DIY idea with branches
Small twigs and branches can also be used for the wooden candle holders. You can use this to decorate a glass container and turn it into a rustic decoration. It's best to use hot glue to secure the branches well. If you place the tea lights inside, beautiful lighting effects will be created in the room.
Repurpose glass containers
The glass containers can usually be covered with any material and transformed into original candle holders. With a thick rope you can conjure up an atmospheric table decoration for the summer and use it at the next garden party. In this case, it is recommended that you only cover half of the containers, otherwise the light from the candle will be completely obscured.
Instead of buying new glass containers, you can simply recycle the old jam jars. These can then be decorated with any decoration and adapted to the rest of the interior. This idea is suitable for everyday home decoration as well as for special occasions.
Natural materials for decoration offer a wonderful idea for autumn and winter. Walnuts, chestnuts, acorns and pine cones fit perfectly and give any room a natural feel. You can fill the jam jars with any natural material and design them specifically for autumn or winter decoration.
If you cover the jam jar with paper with cut-out patterns, you can also make original candle holders. With book or newspaper paper and a nice string you can create a lovely vintage decoration for your home.
You can use many other materials to decorate jam jars, such as lace, bows, fabric, colored paper, etc. Be inspired by our ideas and make a creative and inexpensive decoration yourself.
