Reclaimed Wood & Ladle Autumn Candle Holder

August 14, 2014

I'm sure you have seen repurposed ladle candle holders on Pinterest and in blogland.  This is my autumn version of the idea.


 First I cut a piece of barn wood siding to fit the ladle.  I used a rasp to round the corners and edges to make it resemble a "skinny" pumpkin.

I used this end scrap of wood to fashion a rustic stem.

I watered down some acrylic orange craft paint and brushed on a thin coat.

I sure didn't use any kind of a pattern for the stem.  I just cut a hunk off of the splintered end piece and attached it with a mending brace.

I bent the handle on the ladle to make the bottom more flat.

So there IT is, my first fall project of 2014.  It was really pretty easy.

    I'm definitely missing something since I've never seen ladle candle holders before. I'll have to check out pinterest. Love how you did yours!

    So darn cute and clever! I love the cute little chunk of wood you used for the stem. Don't you just love flameless candles?
