Easy
I recently purchased a HUGE box of old curtain rings from an auction. I mean hundreds. So I have been racking my brain to come up with some original uses for them.These candlesticks are super quick and easy to make, and look fab in their contrasting colours.
What you need to make a pair of candlesticks from curtain rings
- A selection of old curtain rings. Ours all vary slightly in size and are made of both wood and plastic.
- Two wooden spheres
- Any strong glue. We used Bostik all-purpose. E6000 would be a good alternative.
- Candlestick cup and collar inserts
How to make candlesticks from curtain rings.
Start by removing the little eye screw from each of the curtain rings. These should unscrew easily without the need for tools.

I love the candlesticks and would like to try and make them. could you tell me please the approximate diameter of the Rings that you used? I will be buying them new and don't know whether I need to buy all the different sizes or if they are in a group of multi size rings. could you also tell me the diameter of the wood ball? thank you in advance. I hope mine will come out even half as good as yours.
