Easy DIY Centerpiece
Made from Reclaimed Wood
This Easy DIY Candle Centerpiece is so simple to make using reclaimed wood. I’ve included detailed instructions for making a candle holder.
I have admired all the multi-candle centerpieces and candle holders I’ve seen on Pinterest and Instagram. When I ran across a few pieces of old wood, I knew immediately that I wanted to make one for myself.
I first saw one that Liz Marie had made a few years ago and then my friend Michele at Vintage Home Design shared this candle holder last year.
Here is my version of this simple candle centerpiece.
I used two boards for my candle centerpiece. One reclaimed 2 x 4 board was exactly the length I needed.
In addition, we used 4 screws to attach boards together and I added a metal drawer pull, as a handle, to each end of the centerpiece.
The handles are optional and you can use wood glue and nails to attach the board together if you prefer.
The second tongue & groove board was long enough to cut into 2 pieces using a miter saw.
If your wood is new, you may want to paint or stain the wood before proceeding. Since my wood was reclaimed, it was nicely aged. I liked the look of the aged wood and wanted to leave it natural.
If you are finishing your boards, you should allow for dry time.

Then attach the handles to each end of the candle holder, using the hardware provided with the drawer pulls.

Although all my wood supplies were free, adding 22 candles was a different story.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I look forward to sharing my next adventure with you.

be careful how close these candles are to each other - short ones can soften & melt side of tall ones next to them, which then cave over & can light the tablecloth on fire!
