How to Create Your Own Candle Centerpiece

One of the things I love most about DIY decor is that it spurs creativity! I’ve had this vintage copper piece for while now and wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do with it. Then, I decided it was the perfect width and length to build my own DIY candelabra.

DIY candle holders seems to be a specialty of mine. I have built them out of many things, including antique lamp bases! However, this time I wanted to mimic a candelabra without the fancy arms and glitz and glamour that one usually thinks of.

Cozy Casual Candelabra

I’m just a simple gal. I don’t do super elegant decor. Instead, I prefer casual and cozy. Thankfully, I think this candle centerpiece accomplishes both of those goals!

The copper decor is perfect for fall because of those rich tones. The candles offer the perfect cozy environment. And the natural elements I added keep it feeling casual and slightly unkempt.

Even with the candles unlit, this centerpiece still provides a cozy accent to the dining room. I love how it turned out and it was so simple to create.
