Wood Spindle Candle Holders

Hello friends! If you’ve been following along on Facebook, you know I have been keeping busy crafting and even started joining in on weekly Facebook lives.

If you enjoy DIY, crafting and all things creating with dollar store ad thrifted finds, you will love our All Things Dollar Store Group.

It’s a great place for you to connect with creators and get inspired.

The candle holders that I’m sharing today were a craft I previewed last week on my Facebook page.

It all started with my interior front door. It was a standard builder grade white door and I have been itching to paint it a happy color.

So I hit up my stash of paint and went with a gorgeous blue called Poolside. It’s so warm and welcoming. 

You know how one project leads to another, right? So now I started looking at other things and decided I wanted some pretty candle holders for my mantel.

I already had the paint out, so why not? Plus, I had a broken chair in my basement with a bunch of spindles.

See how this all came together. I love when that happens. 

If you don’t have any spindles, you can order some online for about $1 a piece, so it’s a very budget-friendly DIY. 

How To Make Wood Spindle Candle Holders

Supplies

• Wood Spindles – mine are from a broken chair
• E-6000 
• Scrap Wood Squares
• Mini Clay Saucers
• DecoArt Paint in Poolside
• Paint Brush
• Sanding Sponge 

Step 1.

Paint wood spindles in the color of your choice. You can use a light whitewash, or fully coat the spindles.

It’s totally up to you. I like a little bit of a chippy look. It really gives it that farmhouse style.

Step 2.

Paint the scrap wood and clay saucers. You will need at least 2-3 coats of paint. Let fully dry.

Step 3.

Use E-6000 to attach the spindles to the clay saucers and/or the scrap wood. I only had three saucers on hand so I used wood for the rest. 

Step 4.

You can leave as is, or go back with a sanding block to distress it. And that’s it!

I’m so happy with how these farmhouse spindle candle holders turned out, and they are so budget-friendly.

The clay saucers were 3 for $1 and the spindles were free. You can’t beat that!
