DIY Candle Holder

I absolutely LOVE minimal decor and Scandinavian design but I DO NOT love the price tag that often comes with these decor items. I was inspired to make this candle holder as a gift after seeing it in one of my favorite catalogs. This candle holder makes a great centerpiece or even and Advent candle!!

I started with 1 extra large doll head, and 4 large doll head from the craft store. They are flat on the bottom so that helps them stay upright. I also uses several different sized wood beads, with holes already pre-drilled in them.





For the larger doll heads that would become my candle holders, I predrilled a hole all the way through, then used a spade bit to make the hole big enough to hold a taper candle.





After everything was drilled and ready to go I threaded each piece onto leather cording in a pattern I was happy with then knotted each end. I stuck my taper candles in and made sure they were a snug fit.
I love how it turned out!! I left the wood raw because I dig it but you could certainly paint them any color you'd like before threading them onto the cording.
Pretty easy DIY Gift right? gift
