Driftwood Candle Holder
This super easy (and cheap) DIY will be the perfect centerpiece for your mantle or dining room table! Especially great for a romantic Valentine's Day table centerpiece.
Watch the video above to see how to make this cute driftwood candle holder. PS: Please subscribe to my Youtube channel! for more sweet DIY projects. (It totally makes me day) :D
Find some chunky driftwood!
Use a 1 1/2" drill bit, which is the perfect size for tea lights!
Apply stead and even pressure.
I love the different types of wood and the organic shapes.
For safety make sure to only use candles with a metal casing for safety.
Then just light and enjoy :)

As stated in the article, use candles that are in a metal casing. Every tea light that I've ever seen comes this way. Craft stores such as Michael's or Jo Anne's carry them. Dollar stores may have them as well.
