Decorative pillar candle holders
Even a few years ago, a candleholder was something you used to stick a candle in, period. These days, candleholders are home decoration items in their own right, quite apart from whether you wish to burn candles in them.
Inevitably, my fondness for candles has now grown to encompass candleholders as well, and I catch myself browsing the Net to find unusual designs in candleholders that I might want for myself, or as a gift.
Typically, most candleholders are made of metal, wood, or glass. When made of metal, candleholders bear extraordinary carvings, while wooden candleholders can be used as the perfect accessories to your wooden furniture. The best thing about candleholders today is that they can accommodate candles of almost any shape, because they almost always have a fairly wide base and can hold oddly shaped candles very well. I remember gifting a wrought iron candleholder set to my niece a few months ago.
Decorative Candle Holders To Make
Executive Summary about Decorative Candle Holders by Suie Roberts
Beautiful and functional candleholders made from flour and salt dough. Add the flour and mix to form dough. Roll out some of the dough with a rolling pin.
Roll two long sausages that are long enough to reach around the edge of the base.
Add decorations to your candle stick base…
Holly is attractive and gives the candleholder a festive flavour. With a dab of water, stick the leaf draping over the twist edging. Roll three small balls of dough for berries and stick them at the base of the leaf.
Rose Candleholder…
Cut two leaves, press in some leaf veins and stick the leaves on the twisted edge so that they over hang. Roll six small balls of dough and squash them to make circles. With a dab of water stick the rose between the leaves on the candleholder. Roll a small mouse sized ball of dough, pinch out a pointed nose. Stick the mouse body to the candleholder on top of the wide part of the mouse’s tail. Roll two small balls and squash them flat. Roll out some dough and cut out a larger base than before. Create a wavy edge tot he base - Put two fingers on the far edge of the base a fingers width apart.
Roll out a chunky sausage and make a dough nut shape to hold the candle. Stick the doughnut on to the middle of the shaped base.

[...] Put a wall candle holder near the table to make it cozier and warm when your family or guests arrive. Putting a ribbon is a bit common. Aside from the initials, you can even put a picture of a family member so that people will know that the candleholder they are looking at is personalized. For example, if it is February, you can hang some hearts on the candleholder so that you know that love is in the air. A few changes can make a huge difference to the once simple candleholder that you have. There is no doubt that you can try out whatever design you can think of as long as you know that it will work for the candleholder. [...]
