These barn wood candle holders were an afterthought, to be honest. We recently finished up building our reclaimed wood farmhouse table and had some left over chunks of the wood slab.  I wanted to be able to use every last bit so I decided to make rustic reclaimed barn wood tea light candle holders. That description is quite a mouth full, I apologize for that. Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links for your convenience. Click here for my full disclosure policy

Tutorial to Make Rustic Candle Holders with Leftover Barn Wood

Once the farm table was finished these are the leftover chunks of barn wood I had to work with. They are different sizes and rough with splits and plenty of character.

I sliced the chunks into smaller pieces with the table saw and sanded them on the edges. In an attempt to maintain the natural rustic feel of the barn wood I only sanded the rough areas of the wood and did not sand the chunks smooth.reclaimed barn wood, chunks of wood, tea light holder, candle holder, how to make a tea light candle holder

Next, I grabbed my drill and Forstner bit to make the holes.    tool, drill bit, how to make a tea light holder, candle holder, barn wood  The round hole is just the right size for a tea light candle. tea light candle holder, barn wood, reclaimed wood, diy, drilled holes

I made a random amount of holes on the different pieces of wood.  Some have three, others have one or two, etc. There’s no rhyme or reason to the things I do.barn wood tea light candle holders, rustic decor, reclaimed wood, just the woods, staten island

Next, just to be sure my holes were the correct size and depth I dropped in the tea lights before cleaning up my mess. Good to know, the candle lights fit the first time around! Tea Light Candle Holder by Just the Woods, how to make a tea light candle holder, how to make a candle holder

    These are awesome, Kandice! Such a great idea and you just gave me a light bulb moment for a couple of off cuts I’ve had kicking around forever that I didn’t know what to with. Pinned and sharing

    Great idea, and they turned out really nice! The hubby bought some reclaimed wood a while back and was going to make a coffee table but bought one instead. Hmmm wonder if he would let me cut it up. Thanks for sharing!
