Thanksgiving Candle Holders DIY

DIY: Rustic Candle Holders

I used used recycled tin soup cans for this DIY making it cost-efficient andc eo-friendly. Best of all, the tin coordinates beautifully with the silverware and reflects the warm glow of a candle. A 3-inch (in diameter) candle fits perfectly into the can—making it look like it was meant to be!

Materials:

  • soup or dog food can (cleaned thoroughly)
  • candle, 3-inches in diameter
  • Raffia
  • textured fabric (burlap or tweed work well)
  • cuttings from foliage

Tin Can Vases - Supplies

Instructions:

Step 1: Cut fabric wide enough to cover the can and long enough to wrap around it.  Secure it to the can by wrapping a few pieces of raffia around the can. Tie in a double knot. Cut away excess.

Step 2: Place a candle on top.

Table-Setting Tips:

If you would like your table to have a centerpiece, make a few candle holders and line them up along the center of the table. Or, group a few of the candle holders on a tray that can easily be removed when it is time to make room for the turkey. You can even use one of the candle holders as a small vase. I use fall foliage from my yard to make the cans into vases for the place settings at each end of the table.
