1. Spray Paint
One way to give old candlestick holders a makeover is to spray them with a new paint color. This is as simple as spraying the items with primer, letting them dry, and then spraying them again with the color that you like. The black ones above used to be brass items.
2. Birch Logs
These are the perfect blend of classy and rustic. To make these, you will be needing birch logs, drill, candles, and saw. You simply saw the logs, drill a hold in the center, add felt pads to the bottom of the logs, and add the candles. Easy!
3. Wood Block
Here we have another DIY candlestick holder that is constructed from wood. Instead of logs, though, you will be using a block of wood. This is fantastic for those who are into clean lines and modern home decor. The materials you need for this craft project include drill, wood stain, and paint.
4. Trinkets
This beautifully whimsical** DIY candlestick holder** is Anthropologie-inspired. And if you assume that the original piece was ridiculously pricey, you would be right. The Anthro candlestick holders cost $398 each while the ones Abbie made cost only $15 in total. Yay for DIY!

The process for making these DIY candlestick holders is similar to the previous tutorial but instead of using table legs, you will be crafting with staircase spindles. These candle holders are much smaller compared to the table leg ones, of course.
9. Tuna Can
