DIY candle holders from wooden furniture legs

These DIY candle holders will make a great gift for mother’s day or a special someone. I demonstrated this step by step tutorial at a recent Rust-Oleum spray paint workshop and it was a hit.

What you will need?

• Wooden furniture legs
• Can of Rust-Oleum Spray paint in the color of your choice
• Rust-Oleum Spray on sealant
• Electric Drill and wooden 20mm drill-bit
• A dinner candle
• Wood filler and sanding paper (optional)

How to make the DIY candle holders?

1. Using the electric drill, drill a hole using the 20mm wooden drill bit at the bottom of the leg. If you have not used a drill before, ask someone who knows how to as this part is the trickiest.



2. Using some wood filler and sandpaper, neaten up the table feet from imperfections.
3. Spray-paint the candle holders using the Rust-Oleum spray paint. I used some of their amazing chalk paint.



4. Afterwards I sealed the furniture legs using the Rust-Oleum Spray on sealant.
5. Place the candles in the holes and enjoy your new and pretty candle holders.
