Material list

These rustic wooden candleholders are decorative and bring cosiness into your home in no time. With only little material they were designed and transformed into real eye-catchers for the Christmas season.

In our example, we have decided to colour two of the four candlesticks. In the first step we applied Chalky Wax and let it dry through. Afterwards we painted them with Kandelaar red and white. After the paint was completely dry, it was then painted with Sandpaper in some areas to achieve a shabby look.
The two natural candlesticks were wrapped with jute ribbons. In the apron you should attach double-sidedAdhesive tape, so that the bands do not slip afterwards

The small glass balls were filled with glitter. Since the designed candlesticks can be used wonderfully as an Advent wreath, you can still write numbers from one to four on the balls after filling. Wrap the Kandelaar balls in red or white with jute cords and attach the glass balls in the same way

On a cut Kraft paper Label, the writing "Have a wonderful Christmas" was written with handlettering. The label was simply inserted between the attached jute cord and thus fastened.

Finally, put only candles on the candlesticks and place the holders decoratively in your home. Tip: For a noble look, our candles were painted Goldwith a little bit of Inca.
