Crafting Your Own Wooden Vessel for Candle Illumination
In the spirit of autumn, we present a simple yet elegant DIY project that will add a touch of rustic charm to your tablescape or cozy space. This DIY Wooden Bowl Candle Holder is perfect for a long table out in the woods or as a centrepiece for your fall decor.
Supplies You'll Need
- A sturdy wooden bowl (bread bowls or salad bowls are recommended)
- A tea light or votive candle
- Optional: candle wax, wick, and a tin can for creating a custom candle inside the bowl
- Optional safety materials like a heat-resistant base or sealant
Steps to Create Your Candle Holder
- Select a wooden bowl that's thick and sturdy enough to safely hold a candle.
- For a simple holder, place a tea light or votive candle inside the bowl without letting the flame touch the bowl sides.
- If you'd like to make a candle inside the bowl, melt candle wax in a tin can on a stove, then carefully pour it into the bowl, centering the wick.
- Allow the wax to set and trim the wick.
- Decorate or treat the outside of the bowl for aesthetics and protection, if desired.
- Always keep safety in mind by not burning the candle unattended and ensuring flame clearance from the wood.
