Candles are must-have items in any home because not only are their sweet smells alluring, they also set a nice ambiance and can enhance any room.
For candle lovers, finding the perfect holder is also important to match your home's decor. But, instead of spending money on holders that can sometimes be a little pricey, why not make some yourself?
Just like Altoids tins, which you probably never thought could be transformed into useful household objects, there are several items found in most people's homes that can be turned into creative candle holders.
And some of them are so simple to put together. Just wait till you get to #8! Other ideas will even be great to decorate your patio with (in addition to all these suggestions we previously introduced you to!)
So, before you throw anything from your kitchen away, make sure to check out the list below.

1. Wine Glasses
If you have any old wine glasses, just add a tealight candle inside. To be a little more creative, fill the wine glass with sand or coffee beans and put the tealight candle on top. If you go with the latter, you'll also get a nice coffee aroma.
2. Logs
Take some time carving out a log for a very rustic candle holder.
3. Whisk
Turn a whisk upside down to make a hanging candle.
4. Mason Jar
Mason jars are great because they could be an option for big or small candles.

Wine bottles also make great holders for longer, thinner candles.
7. Twigs
Collect some twigs from outside and glue them together to make a very outdoorsy candle holder.

You can place a candle on a small platter and surround it with seashells like in the photo above. Or you can get more creative and glue shells together to make the base of the candle. Whichever you choose, this decoration will bring summer right into your home.
