camper4lyfeKim and I are making candle holders for our mothers for Christmas.
Kim's mom likes boats and lighthouses and stuff, so we're going for a pilon type of look with hers. It's the first two pictures. The 3 stacks will be "tied" together to look like a pilon you'd see around a dock.
Mine is the last one. I took a log and cut a strip off the top so that I can bore holes for tea lights. I'm still not sure on what kind of feet I'm going to use to keep it upright. My latest idea is to take the piece I cut off the end, cut it in half, cut away the profile of it, and attach a half to each end. What do you think?
My other idea was to cut grooves in the bottom and attach a couple piece of a smaller stick/log to act as feet. I like my most recent idea better, but any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
