What you’ll need
- 3 wooden planks (e.g. from an old pallet)
- 18mm plywood sheet
- 120g sandpaper sheets
- 4mm x 30mm wood screws (approx. 20)
- Wood stain

Step-by-step instructions
Step 1
Sand your wooden planks to smooth the surface and bring out the grain.
Step 2
Trim two planks to 75cm and two to 15cm, or adapt to whatever size you like!
Step 3
Fix the planks together with your wood screws to form a rectangular frame.
Step 4
Measure and cut your plywood to sit inside the bottom of the frame as a base. Attach it to the frame with your wood screws.
Step 5
Choose a wood stain of your choice and apply with a brush. Once dry, we recommend adding a clear, water-based varnish for protection against scratches and candle wax.
Step 6
Attach your handles to either side of the candle holder.
Step 7
Add your candles and decorations! We’ve picked a festive theme, but you can adapt for any occasion and make the most of your candle holder all year round.
