Oh man, when’s the last time I did a candle\u00a0holder\u00a0DIY… \u00a0I don’t think I did a single one last year, which is interesting\u00a0because they were pretty regular\u00a0in 2014. \u00a0Actually that probably\u00a0makes sense because I was perhaps burned out (see that?) from doing them.<\/p>\n
Well, I still love candles, think they’re probably my favorite thing for the home and everywhere, and they’re really simple\u00a0to get creative with for a\u00a0DIY. \u00a0This months prompt for the Michaels Makers challenge is what I think we’d all agree is at the heart of DIY: personalization and putting our own spin on things. \u00a0Especially when it comes to decor, this can be the reason for why we do any of this at all, so for me, with a new bookcase in the corner that needed updated decor to match how\u00a0my style has evolved since\u00a02014, I’m starting with these easy geometric wood candle holders.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Materials: It’s possible that copper could be my gold this year. \u00a0I mentioned before wanting to play around with that more, and so far so good!<\/p>\n To see what other personalized projects the other Michaels Makers put together, visit The Glue String blog<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Oh man, when’s the last time I did a candle\u00a0holder\u00a0DIY… \u00a0I don’t think I did a single one last year, which is interesting\u00a0because they were pretty regular\u00a0in 2014. \u00a0Actually that probably\u00a0makes sense because I was perhaps burned out (see that?) from doing them.

\n<\/strong><\/span>-geometric wood objects (from Michaels)
\n–drill<\/a>
\n–3\/4″ spade bit<\/a>
\n–painters tape<\/a>
\n-aluminum foil
\n-spray paint (I used black<\/a>, white<\/a>, and copper<\/a>)<\/p>\n![\"Geometric](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Geometric-wood.jpg\")
These geometric wood objects came with predrilled holes that aren’t big enough for candles (not at all sure what they were intended for) so I just flipped them over to the other side and drilled my own holes. \u00a0Personalization win!<\/p>\n![\"drill\"](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/drill.jpg\")
I used a 3\/4″ spade bit to drill the hole about a half inch deep, which fits a tapered candle perfectly.<\/p>\n![\"tape\"](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/tape.jpg\")
Next, I applied\u00a0the edge of painters tape around the half way point of each candle holder, then covered the rest with aluminum foil. \u00a0I spray painted each candle holder in two light coats with one minute of drying in between before removing all the tape and foil.<\/p>\n![\"Geometric](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Geometric-Candleholders-DIY.jpg\")
