Also, you can either use new wood or recycled wood. If you are using recycled wood, make sure it is clean and free of nails or other sharp objects for a seamless finish. Now that you have all your materials, it’s time to start making your candle holder.
Cut the wood to size
The next step is to cut the wood to size. If you are using a recycled piece of wood, make sure it is the right size for your candleholder. If you are using new wood, you can either buy pre-cut pieces or cut them yourself. To do this, measure the length and width of your candle holder and mark the measurements on the wood. Then, use a saw to cut along the lines. while cutting the wood, be extremely careful to as this can be a bit dangerous.
Also, if you are not comfortable using a saw, you can always ask an expert to do it for you. Once the pieces are cut, sand down any rough edges with sandpaper so that your candle holders get a perfect finishing touch and look exactly similar to the store-bought ones. Now that the measurements and cutting of your candleholder are all done, it’s time to move to the next step.
Drill a hole in the center of each piece of wood

To do this, simply take your drill and make a hole in the center of each piece of wood. Make sure that the holes are big enough for your candles but not too big as that would defeat the purpose of making candle holders.
Also, while drilling, be extra careful so that you don’t damage the wood or hurt yourself in any way and if at any point you feel that you are unable to perfectly do it, you can take professional help. Once you have drilled holes in all your pieces of wood, it’s time to put everything together and add some final finishing touches to your candle holders.
Sand down the edges and round off the corners
The next step is to sand down the edges and rounds off the corners. This will help give your candleholders a more polished and professional look. To do this, simply take your sandpaper and start sanding down the edges of each piece of wood.
