Handcrafted Twig Candle Stands Exude Rustic Elegance
In the spirit of the autumn season, we're sharing a delightful DIY project that's both easy and elegant - twig candle holders. Using natural materials and glass jars or votives, you can create a rustic, yet sophisticated addition to your home decor.
Here's what you'll need:
- Recycled glass jars or votives
- Thin branches or twigs (preferably straight and similar in size)
- Acrylic paint (white)
- Baker's twine or yarn
- Tea lights or LED tea lights
- Clippers or kitchen scissors
- A hot glue gun or craft glue
- Scissors
- Optional: dried flowers, moss, mini glass jars, flowers or grass, fresh-cut greens
To begin, collect your twigs and branches from outside. Clean and dry them thoroughly to prepare for the project.
Next, attach the twigs vertically around the glass jar or votive holder using a strong adhesive such as hot glue. Arrange them tightly so they cover the outside surface of the jar evenly. You can add a touch of personal flair by gluing small natural elements like dried flowers or moss between twigs for extra texture.
Once the twigs are securely in place, place a tealight or small candle inside the glass jar. The glass protects the flame and the twigs create a rustic, natural look around it.
For a unique twist, consider placing a mini glass jar inside a larger candle holder filled with flowers or grass, or incorporating fresh-cut greens around the candle base for a natural accent.
This method creates a charming, nature-inspired candle holder perfect for cozy home decor or as a centrepiece. Be sure the twigs are securely glued and the candle flame is safely enclosed by glass to avoid fire hazards.
The twig candle holders fit into various styles, including farmhouse and modern, making them a versatile choice for any home. Moreover, twigs are a common and plentiful craft supply, and with the popularity of natural materials in home decor this year, you're sure to impress with your DIY creation.
So, gather your materials and get crafting! These twig candle holders bring warmth, texture, and a calming vibe to any room, making them the perfect addition to your autumn decor. Happy crafting!
