Unusual candlesticks with their own hands. Forged candlestick do it yourself

Do you want to decorate your house for the holiday or just create an atmosphere of comfort in it? Then just decorate the dining table, shelves and consoles with candles. And to save on buying a lot of candlesticks, we recommend making them yourself. In this material, you will learn 7 ideas for making candlesticks from readily available, improvised, and even junk materials in just one evening.

Idea 1. Candlestick made of wooden cuts

A saw cut of a tree is an almost ready-made candlestick, beautiful, environmentally friendly and versatile. It will be appropriate in or interior design all year round, including New Year's Eve.

How to do it: You can make your own saw cuts, but it's faster and easier to buy ready-made saw cuts, which are sold in many online stores and craft stores. "Ready" saw cuts are good because they do not have splits and cracks, they are properly dried and can already be sanded. You can pick up saw cuts of different diameters, heights, different types of wood and make a whole set of candlesticks. You can make a cell for a candle in a saw cut using a drill with a forstner drill (about 150 rubles) or another drill that can make a blind round hole of the diameter you need (for example, it can be a “ballerina”, a wood crown, a spiral or drill bit, etc.).

Idea 2. Wooden block candlestick

And here is another idea for making a candlestick out of wood with your own hands, however, this time from a bar. However, you can replace the bar with a dried log or a board of a suitable size.

How to make it: To make a large wooden candlestick with your own hands, you will need:

• Dry planed or unplaned wooden block(preferably wider so that the candlestick is stable). In this master class, a 100 × 100 mm bar was used.
• A drill and a Forstner drill of a suitable diameter (for your candles) or any other drill that can cut a blind round hole of a small depth of 0.5-1 cm or more. A drill with a diameter of 50 mm was used here.
• Square.
• Roulette.
• Pencil.
• A hammer.
• Stain of the desired color, rags or brush.
• Rubber gloves.

Step 1. First of all, you need to cut a piece of the desired length from the bar with a saw or jigsaw. In this project, the candlestick was made to decorate big table, so it has a length of 90 cm. Consider how many candles your candlestick will hold, and how much spacing there will be between them. Then mark the cut line, cut the bar and lightly sand its end sandpaper.

Step 2. Next, you need to draw markings on the bar for placing candles. To do this, first determine the length of the indents from the edges of the candlestick (in this MK there are indents of 7 cm), then simply place the candles on the bar with equal intervals, circle them and mark the center of each circle with a dot.

Step 3. Using a drill and a Forstner drill, cut blind round holes of small depth. Do not worry if the edges of the cells turn out to be rough, for our rustic candlestick this is only a plus.

Step 4. Give the tree an aged and sloppy look by tapping the ends of the candlestick with a hammer. You can make dents in only a few places or on all visible sides of the bar.

Step 5. Now you need to give the tree color, while maintaining the visibility of its pattern and beautiful texture. To do this, simply rub the stain with a soft cloth into the surface of the product in one layer, and then let it dry.

Here's what you should get.

Idea 3. Candlestick from a bottle

Glass bottles make not only elegant or vintage candlesticks, but also caps. Here are some ideas that you might like and that are very easy to implement.

Such candlesticks, made by hand from cut bottles, can be beautifully packaged and presented to loved ones.

How to do it: There is nothing easier than making a candlestick from a bottle with your own hands, as in the photo above, because for this you just need to cut it and fill it with wax with a wick, or just put a small candle. There are two ways to cut a glass bottle.

• Method 1: Soak a thick cotton thread in alcohol (eg nail polish remover), then wrap it around the bottle. Light the thread with care and immediately begin to rotate the bottle around its axis so that the fire spreads along the entire length of the thread. Now immerse the bottle in boiling water for 3 minutes, and then immediately transfer it to a container with cold water. Due to a sharp temperature drop, the glass will crack where the burning thread was tied. True, if the glass is too thick, for example, like a bottle of champagne, then the procedure will have to be repeated 2-3 times.
• Method 2: If you have a glass cutter or glass drill, then you can use them. Wrap the bottle with a hair tie, and then draw a line along its contour with a glass cutter. Burn the cut line, immerse the bottle in boiling water for 3 minutes, and then quickly transfer it to cold water.

When the bottle breaks, sand the sharp edge first with coarse sandpaper and then with fine grit.

Now that the candlestick is almost ready, you can insert the wick into it, fix it in a vertical position (eg, with Chinese sticks as shown in the photo) and finally fill it with pre-melted paraffin.

Idea 4. Candlestick from a glass or tin can

Banks are another improvised material from which you can quickly and easily make a candlestick. In this collection of photos you can get ideas for decorating Christmas candlesticks.

Idea 5. Gypsum or concrete candlestick

Concrete or gypsum poured into any container, drying, takes the form of a container. Thus, to make a candlestick with your own hands, you only need to find a suitable disposable container, for example, a plastic bottle or a yogurt package.

These cute concrete candlesticks were poured into yoghurt cups.

In this article we will tell you how to make a forged candlestick from sheet steel and steel bar. For the manufacture of a forged candlestick, a mandatory skill is the ability to make high-quality weld points. If you do not know how to do this, check out the article.

Materials and tools

• sheet steel 1-1.5 mm thick
• steel bar with a diameter of 10 mm
• joiner's nails 3 pcs
• pliers or round nose pliers
• building corner with a wall thickness of 4 mm
• pipe with a diameter of 2-3 cm and a wall thickness of at least 2 mm
• slotted screwdriver
• angle grinder (grinder) with cutting and grinding discs
• inverter type welding machine (electrode with a diameter of 2 mm at a current strength of 60-80 A), or a semi-automatic type
• primer for metal and paint
• felt-tip pen

Making a forged candlestick

To bend the rod, we need a device that is easy to make on our own. We take building corner about 10 cm long and weld to it from the outside 2 rods 5 cm long at a distance of 3-4 cm from each other. To work with such a device, fix it in a vise.

In the absence of a vise, weld another rod 5 cm long with inside corner. This will allow you to fix the fixture to the edge of your desktop through the hole.

With a grinder, we cut off a part 15 cm long and another 35 cm long from the rod. Then we round the ends with a grinding disc.

With the help of our bending device, we give the long rod an S-shape. To do this, we insert it between the rods of the device and gradually bend it. The stop point of the rod must be changed by bending a little. We put the pipe on one of the ends of the bent rod - this will be a lever that will allow you to apply less effort. The longer the pipe, the more leverage and, accordingly, less effort.

We cut the rod into 4 parts of 8 cm each, they need to be slightly bent, which can be easily done using our device and pipe. Mentally divide the rods into three parts and make a fold at a distance of 1/3 from the edge. These are the legs of the future candlestick.

Round off the ends of the rods. With a stone-type disk, we make indentations at opposite ends. Thus, we will provide a tighter connection between the legs and the vertical base of the candlestick, which, in turn, will allow us to more accurately weld the joint.

Now we take a rod 15 cm long, and attach the legs to it with the help of welded points, retreating 1 cm from the end of the rod. The deflection of the legs should be directed straight down. Do not weld the legs on all sides at once. Fasten first welding machine each at several points and check how smooth the product is. We put the workpiece on a flat surface, it must meet 2 indicators:

• a long rod must be located strictly vertically
• all 4 legs must touch the surface at the same time

If necessary, bend one of the legs or break off and reattach. When the product is sufficiently even, we weld the legs of the candlestick along the entire diameter and clean the seams with a grinding disc.

Now we will decorate the vertical axis of the candlestick with a twisted braid. To do this, cut out steel sheet 2 strips 40 cm long and 1 cm wide. We weld them to the candlestick in several places. Do not be too zealous, as these are temporary connection points. The angle between the base of the rod and the strips can be different, at your discretion, but the main thing is that it must be the same for both strips.

We bend the strips around the rod, one after the other, alternating them by half a turn. It is most convenient to bend them with your hands, but if you wish, you can use pliers. The last, upper, turns do not go around strictly around the rod, let's let them be a little further from the base. Throughout the length metal strips should be separated from each other at a short distance, if necessary, they can be moved apart with a slotted screwdriver.

After wrapping the strips around the rod, they must be broken off at the base with a slotted screwdriver. We bend the ends of the strips around the legs of the candlestick and weld them completely. To make the strip evenly bend around the leg of the candlestick, you can nail it with a hammer.

Now the S-shaped rod needs to be attached to the vertical base of the candlestick. We make weld points along the entire diameter of the rod, if necessary, clean them with a grinding disc.

In the same place, we attach the ends of the braid of the rod and check again the symmetry of the distance between them along the entire length.

Next, we make 4 leaves with which we will cover the legs of the candlestick. All of them should be equal and equal. To do this, we cut out a sheet template from thick paper, 9 cm long and 5 cm wide. We draw a leaf on a sheet of iron according to the template and cut it out with a grinder. We process the edge with a grinding disc. And so with each leaf.

Mark the veins on the leaves with a felt-tip pen, observing symmetry. We make shallow serifs with a grinder exactly along the marked lines. After that, lightly process the surface of the leaves with a petal-type grinding disc.

We bend the tips of the leaves with our hands, or with round-nose pliers. One tip should be bent up, the other down. The fold lines should be smooth, avoid creases.

Weld the leaves to the legs of the candlestick at the bottom where the leg meets the leaf. Do not overheat the leaves to prevent them from burning. It is almost impossible to burn the legs themselves, so you can safely melt them, and not the leaves. Do not be alarmed if the leaves change color after welding, this is normal.

The junctions of the leaves and legs are clearly visible in the photo.

The base of the candlestick with legs is ready. Now let's work with top- bowls for candles.

We need a crescent-shaped paper template with a length of 11 cm, a width of 6.5 cm and a bending depth of 2.5 cm. We trace the template on a sheet of iron and cut out 2 crescents with a grinder.

We connect two crescents so that they fit snugly against each other, and bend them from the inside, forming a kind of bowl. The allowable gap between the halves of the bowl is not more than 1 mm. For bending, we use a flat round object. It can be a pipe of suitable diameter or a round mallet. From the inside, weld the halves.

Now you need to weld along the entire length of the joint inside and out. The weld point should partially overlap the previous one. Thus, a full-fledged weld will be obtained. Strip it from the outside with a petal disc.

There will be 3 candles in our candlestick, so repeat all the operations 2 more times.

We weld a joiner's nail 3-4 cm long inside each bowl, exactly in the center.

Then we will attach the bowls to the candlestick. We fasten each of them with welded points, observing the same angle of rotation relative to the base of the candlestick. Rotate the entire structure and control the angle of the bowls in all planes, bending them if necessary. Fasteners using welded points have elasticity, which will allow you to bend the bowls a little without breaking them off. By placing the bowls in correct position weld them on both sides.

We clean the formed seams with a petal disk.

The candlestick is ready. However, to complete the product, it is necessary to paint it. Black paint is best. It does not have to be heat resistant, as any paint has some temperature resistance. In our case, the heat source is candle wax, which is not hot enough to damage the paint.

You can turn to professionals, but I think that painting it yourself is much more interesting. In auto enamel stores you will find fairly high-quality coloring compositions in cylinders, so no special devices not required. In addition to paint, you also need a primer, which can also be purchased in a bottle.

Work must be carried out in a ventilated area. It will not be superfluous to use a respiratory respirator. The surface of the candlestick must be cleaned of rust, if any. Then apply 2 thin coats of primer with an interval of 20 minutes. After the primer has dried, apply the main paint in 2-4 thin layers with an interval of 15 minutes. Do not strive to completely paint over the surface of the product from 1 coat and do not allow paint streaks. After applying the last layer, leave the candlestick with paint to dry for several hours.

Candles have accompanied man for many centuries. It is known that the very first of them, which are mentioned in historical documents, were used in China around 200 BC.

And in Europe they appeared after 400 AD. The first, so to speak, models were made from natural fats and wax, and later oil was already used for the production of candles.

Paraffin was a real revolution in their manufacture, but it was not used until 1830.

Initially, candles were needed only for lighting. However, even now, when we have electricity, we still keep them in the house: mainly as a decorative element, and sometimes for light, depending on the circumstances and mood.

Today we will tell the readers of the Design Museum how to make original candlesticks with your own hands.

Candles in a jar with a wide neck

Canning jars are a delightful option for this project. You can make many interesting candle holders out of them.

For example, these floating candles are marvelously aged rustic style. They will look great on any table. You can also use them as a centerpiece for a wedding setting.

you can do more interesting design, giving color to such a product using paint, as well as personalizing it, as shown in this example.

Cut out a heart from ribbon or something, attach it to a jar and color it without touching this shape. Then remove your "stencil" and you will have a beautiful candle holder. (Look at Heartloveweddings.)

This project is similar to the very first one shown here, but used regular small candles instead of floating ones. Banks are placed upside down, and candles are attached to the lid. (Look at Simplykierste.)

Reusing old jars and fabric will allow you to make something elegant and beautiful. First measure this capacity and decide how much wrap lace you need. Then apply glue to the edges of the fabric and wrap the jar. Put candles inside. (Look at Flickr.)

You can also make lanterns using oil. Drill a hole in the center of the lid for the wick, pour some oil into the jar, and you'll have the perfect lantern for your backyard. Just put it on the terrace and you will get a really wonderful view!

This material may seem difficult to work with, but you should still try to use it if you want to carry out your own design project.

For example, try to make stylish candle holders. This is much easier than it might seem at first glance. You will need: cement powder, paper cups, coins, petroleum jelly, duct tape and disposable containers. (Look at Sayyes.)

There is an even easier way to create a unique concrete candlestick. For example, such a product may be intended immediately for four candles. This is a simple block with holes.

To make it, you need a form, concrete mix and candles. Pour the concrete into the mold and place the candles in the right places. Wait for the solution to harden. And when the candles burn out, you can remove them and replace them with new ones. (Look at Signepling).

There are many others interesting designs which you can try to make. In principle, the form depends only on your desire. Just figure out how to make it, or find ready-made molds (for example, for baking) with the size that suits you. (Look at Nimidesign.)

The fact that concrete is not a very delicate material gives you the opportunity to make candle holders with a more rugged design if needed. However, they can look very organic.

Lines don't have to be perfect! On the contrary: any irregularities and imperfections will make your product unique. (See this site for details.)

You can use a soda bottle as a mold. First cut off the top. Add a small amount of water to the bottom, then a glass of concrete and mix.

Keep adding both the first and the second. Gently shake the mold to make sure it lines up. Place a candle on top of the mixture and press it down.

Spread the concrete evenly around the candle. Give it a night to dry everything around, and then remove it from the mold. (Look at Oncewed.)

This project will require milk cartons, duct tape and concrete. take away upper part cardboard base, and then cut it around one of the sides to form a lid.

Make four holes for the candles. Fill the mold with concrete and use masking tape to secure the cut piece. Insert the candles into the holes and let the concrete dry. (Look at Chezlarsson.)

You may like the look of the bottom of the plastic bottle, which can also be used for the mold. First, cut it off. The cut doesn't have to be perfect. Then pour concrete mortar, shake a little and insert the candle from above. Let dry and use.

Having painted the icon lamp, you will give it interesting view. The products shown in the photo are made using the technique described by us above. At the same time, the lower part is painted in various metallic colors. You can simply dip the bottom into the paint container, then wait for it to dry. (Look at Monsterscircus.)

These unusual looking candle holders have lids. That is, two molds for one product are required. One will contain a candle, and the other can be covered after use.

The shape can be chosen the way you like it: just find it and do it the way we previously described. Indulge in the pleasure of having a concrete candlestick! (See this site for details.)

Wooden lamps

If you prefer warm material with a variety of textures, try wood. And although wood can burn easily and, from a safety point of view, it is not entirely correct to place it next to an open fire, it will look elegant and become a favorite decoration in your home. The main thing is not to leave such a product unattended during use.

This option shows us a compact and concise design. This is a large block of wood with three holes. And since the candles are inside a glass candlestick, there is no danger that the product will catch fire. (See this site for details.)

This candlestick is essentially a simple piece of wood with five small holes for thin candles. (Look at Houzz.)

If you like the natural look of logs, then why not use large stumps to create unusual candle holders in country style? These mini sculptures will make a grand impression on your guests.

Do you recognize these tiny candles that delight us on a birthday cake? But they can also look great on the table, on the fireplace, and in other places. Make cute little cubes, drill holes in them, and you're done! (Look at Handkandhunt.)

Take advantage of what nature gives us and find for yourself a piece of wood that has an interesting shape. Clean it and make recesses in it for attaching candles. You will get a stunning decor element that will give your home an unusual atmosphere. (Look at Etsy.)

Everything here is similar to the previous description, the only difference is that this piece of wood is thinner. This candle holder is also very easy to make. Take wooden blank and make a hole in it for a candle so that it fits a wide shape. Also, this product can serve as a table for romantic dinners. (Look at Brit.)
