Materials You’ll Need

✔️ Wooden block (reclaimed wood or pine)
✔️ Copper pipe (¾ inch or 1-inch diameter)
✔️ Copper pipe caps

✔️ Sandpaper (120-220 grit)
✔️ Wood stain or paint
✔️ Wood sealer
✔️ Drill + spade bit (size matching pipe diameter)
✔️ Strong adhesive (E6000 or epoxy)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Wooden Base

Choose a sturdy wooden block (8-12 inches long).
Sand the wood until smooth, removing rough edges.
Apply stain or paint and let it dry completely. Seal with a wood sealer for longevity.

Step 2: Cut the Copper Pipes

Measure and cut copper pipes into equal sections (3-6 inches).
Use a pipe cutter for clean edges and sand the cuts if needed.

Step 3: Drill Candle Holder Holes

Mark where you want the copper pipes on the wooden base.
Drill holes deep enough to fit half the pipe length for stability.

Step 4: Assemble the Candleholder

Apply adhesive inside the drilled holes and insert copper pipes.
Attach copper end caps for a polished look.
Let the adhesive cure according to the instructions.

Step 5: Add Candles & Style It!

Insert tea lights or taper candles into the copper holders.
Place it as a centerpiece on your dining table, mantel, or shelves.

Final Touches & Customization Ideas

Distressed Look: Use sandpaper after staining for a vintage effect.
Metal Patina: Age the copper with vinegar and salt for a greenish-blue patina.
Vary Heights: Cut pipes at different lengths for an artistic arrangement.
