Step 1: The materials required for the DIY

You’ll need these things to make the photo frame, vase and candle holder itself; so the first step is to get hold of these things.

• Lots of twigs/wood sticks
• Glue and tape
• A very sharp knife
• A glass jar of the size you want to make the candle holder

Step 2: Resize the sticks

First of all you’ll need to select the best sticks and then cut them to the length desired. Optimally they should be the size of your glass jar. Once you figure the size of the sticks, you need to cut them with the knife, avoiding any sharp edges of the sticks itself and smoothening them.

You should choose so many sticks that they cover the jar from all directions equally.

Step 3: Color the sticks

The next step is to color the sticks in golden color or silver, as you find fit. Personally I would go for golden color since it gives the candle holder a very rusty and majestic look. Once you color the twigs, leave them to dry on the sun.

Step 4: Gluing them to the jar

The next step is to glue them onto the glass jar from all directions until the jar is completely covered by the twigs. To make sure that the twigs don’t fall after certain period of time, buy a good adhesive that has a strong holding attribute.

Step 5: Apply varnish

Once you have made sure the twigs are completely glued onto the jar, the next step is to apply wood varnish to give it a very shiny look that stays for a long time to come.

There you have it, a rusty candle holder that can be made in one hour’s time flat without any hassle. If you want to get more creative you can add your own ideas to this DIY or use some other material to enhance the look of the candle holder.

Since Halloween is fast approaching; therefore, you can put your thinking cap on and theme the rusty candle holder with a spooky look. Otherwise, you can make small little changes like change in the color or using some other material instead of twigs to complete this DIY. Good luck!
