Materials Needed

• Bamboo sticks or driftwood
• Non-toxic adhesive
• Eco-friendly paint
• Twine or hemp cord
• Sandpaper
• Scissors

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Prepare Your Materials

Start by gathering all your materials. If you're using recycled glass jars, ensure they are clean and dry. Sand down any rough edges on the driftwood or bamboo sticks.

Step 2: Design Your Candle Holder

Decide on the design of your candle holder. You can either create a single holder or connect multiple items for a more elaborate arrangement. Use the twine or hemp cord to bind pieces together, enhancing the holder's rustic appeal.

Step 3: Assemble the Holder

Apply non-toxic adhesive to affix the materials together. Let the adhesive dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions. This ensures your candle holder is sturdy and safe to use.

Step 4: Add a Personal Touch

Paint or decorate your candle holders with eco-friendly paint to match your minimalist decor. Keep the design simple to maintain a clean, modern aesthetic. You could also leave them in their natural state for a more rustic look.

Conclusion

Creating DIY sustainable candle holders is a rewarding project that adds eco-friendly elegance to your home decor. These holders serve as a testament to your creativity and commitment to sustainability, enhancing the minimalist beauty of your space.
