It's the weekend again! How did that happen?

What have you been up to? What are you struggling with or need support on?

It's very pretty. We have a floor candleholder with little brass hollows for holding candles, and the reflections are beautiful. I figure this will work similarly.

I'm such a huge fan of candle holders! I mostly go for the novelty ones, especially seasonal (like, we have a pumpkin one for Halloween and a Santa one for winter holidays), but especially now that there isn't a season to decorate for I really enjoy the simpler ones too. ♡♡♡ And using a planter is such a cool idea, I need to try it! :)

Yeah, me too. I have glass ones, metal ones, you name it. I've made glass candles at home. I also have oil lamps. Because the power goes out multiple times a year.

Most metal planters should work, as they are fireproof and reflective. I want to find something to put in mind, to keep the tea light off the holder itself and keep wax from spilling.

This is the crescent moon planter that I got as a candleholder.

This is the hoop planter I got for actual plants, but it would also work as a candleholder and the bowl is big enough to hold one of those large round multiwick or ribbon wick candles.

I've never made a candle myself, but I sometimes buy them faster than I can burn them. xD

Oh wow, they are golden which is even more beautiful than what I pictured! ♡ And I love how the multiple hoops look, such a fun design! :)
