A feature of church types is an elongated shape. Compared to other species, they need fastening at the base. Therefore, candlesticks are made in the form of a platform on which the lamp can stand steadily.

To decorate church candles or create a whole prayer corner, you can use:

Hemp models are the most simple, typical, designed for everyday use. They are cylindrical in shape and wide enough. Their length can be different - using low, high options you can create interesting installations.

Candlesticks for "stumps" can be created in a variety of ways. These are the easiest candles to design, because they have a convenient shape. You can either simply add decorative elements at the base, or create forged lanterns that will house the lights.

Using tea models is as easy as hemp models: their small size allows you to place them in any vessel. The uniqueness lies in their flat shape. Thanks to it, you can create a particularly original design:

You can make crafts from different jars of glass or aluminum from mayonnaise or canned food. Each material will allow you to recreate unique, chic ideas. As, for example, in the photo above.

If the lamp is designed to create a festive mood, you can apply thematic plots. For the everyday option, you can choose the point technique (it is the simplest).

Alternative - cut a hole at the bottom of a whole bottle, put a hemp model inside. All sorts of wine bottles look quite elegant. There are two ways to make a cut:

1. We wrap the bottle with an ordinary rubber band, draw a glass cutter along its line. Place first in boiling water (leave for 3 minutes), then in ice water
   

   ---

2. We tie the bottle with a string thoroughly moistened with alcohol. We set it on fire and begin to rotate around its axis. Similarly, put in hot, then cold water. Due to the temperature difference, the place where the burning thread was will split

A glass as a stand can be used in different ways. For example, similarly to the methods of decorating a glass jar, you can decorate the surface of the glass with both drawings and decorative beads.

An interesting way is to make it look like a table lamp:

Gypsum, like clay, is a unique material for creating objects with your own hands. With its help, any shapes can be filled in, different techniques can be used. Instead of once again equipping the interior with figurines sold in stores, you can purchase a plaster mortar and create them yourself.

For this you will need:

Thoroughly mix the gypsum with water to a thick consistency. Then fill the selected mold with a texture, place an unnecessary pill candle on top. This will turn out a blank with a predetermined place for the location of the candle.

Volumetric branch, birch bark, dried, winding roots, knotty sticks. They are united not only by a tree. Every piece of nature can become a beautiful candlestick.

Tree roots kept in water for a long time will be an excellent material for an incredible candlestick. They have high strength, have an interesting color, shape.

Using polymer glue, connect several branches together. Make a metal base on top of some of them. Hemp candles look especially beautiful - they are ideal for a classic interior.

A beautiful candlestick can be made from leftover birch bark. It is very easy to make it. Schematically mark a small pattern on the surface (heart, star, circle), cut a hole along the contour through which a light will peek out.

It remains only to insert a tea candle inside. Dry bark can also be wrapped around store-bought glass lamps for a homely look.

An ecological and aesthetic version of the candlestick will be obtained from a wooden saw cut or stump. A wonderful accessory at the feast: suitable for serving everyday or more elegant tables.

We advise you to purchase a ready-made saw cut, that are not chipped and properly dried.

If you are not too lazy to make it yourself, first cut the “pancake” with a saw or a jigsaw, be sure to sand the surface, let the base dry. Make cells for candles with a forstner drill: drill a hole of the desired diameter. Insert small "pills" into it.

For hemp candles, you can also refer to the second method:

1. using screws or nails, make a hole at the top of the cut, using a hammer, leave the fasteners halfway inside
   

   ---

2. caps are bitten off with pliers

3. candle stubs are screwed on

Sufficiently wide cuts can serve as a stand for kitchen utensils or a full-fledged table for a romantic dinner.

For the professional manufacture of forged candlesticks, blacksmiths will be required. Interesting curves, bizarre patterns, shapes can be created by hand. Arm yourself with additional creative metal holder ideas if you can do the job.

Will be appropriate for the Gothic or classical style. From heavy metal, you can create both massive figures and elegant designs.

The dough can be used not only for cooking, but also for crafts if it is especially salty. You will need:

You can mold any shape. The dough is as easy to use as plasticine. When creating the most realistic figures, try to reflect all the details (for example, if it is a coniferous branch, mark each needle, the unevenness of the sticks).

We leave the mold to dry for 4-5 days. Next, paint the resulting candlestick as desired.

An exquisite candlestick will turn out from copper structures. First, cut pieces of wire to the required length. Using pliers, bend them to make an elegant "snag".

Last step - install a long candle on the tip of the wire.

Yellow fallen leaves in a candlestick will help keep the memories of a wonderful autumn:

The easiest way to use shells is to make a full-fledged candle out of them. Choose from different shapes of large and medium sized shells. We paint products in any color (gold, silver, bed and white shades are ideal) in one of the proposed ways:

Next, it remains to install the wick, pour a small amount of paraffin.

To create a candlestick, one whole cone or a collection of them can be used. In the second option, similar techniques are used that we examined: we attach different cones to the base, additional decor, leaving room for a candle.

The first is more interesting - a fairly simple but elegant option. First, clean the top with pliers from a few scales to get a flat surface. Push a metal pin (large needle) inside, a long candle is put on it.

There is nothing more inspiring than letting the Christmas spirit into a room. Fairy lights, tinsel, large Christmas tree - an integral part of the New Year's fuss. But there is another important element - tangerines.

Citrus can please not only taste, aroma, but also its appearance. Use it to create a unique candlestick:

1. cut the peel in half around the perimeter, remove the top

   ---

5. the second part is the base, place a tablet candle in it
   

   ---

6. assemble the base of the orange back

You can also create a fairy tale world by making your fantasies come true with salt dough. To decorate the future candlestick, you can choose a Christmas house template.

Initially, the kneaded dough is rolled out, from which we will cut the walls and roof of the house. On each part, make several openings - a door and windows. To make it easier to cut out the desired shape, circle the templates or improvised means - baking molds in the form of a heart or snowflakes, glasses, etc.

Then we begin to glue all the parts of the PVA around the edges. To make the walls even, the seams on top should also be smeared with small dough sausages - level the “patch” with sandpaper. The resulting structure must be dried in an oven at a low temperature - it will become more stable and strong.

When the house dries, you can start painting: You can decorate with any color. Finish with varnish. Sprinkle additional salt on top to add a hint of snow.

Such Western holidays as Christmas, Halloween - another reason to give a special atmosphere. Favorite character costumes, spooky artwork with spiderwebs, bats and, of course, a cut pumpkin - important components on the eve of All Saints' Day.

Carving a pumpkin seems easy, but you also need to be careful here. Therefore, it is advisable to follow the following points:

It is desirable to make facial features large, since carving from a pumpkin is not easy. It has a hard skin.

Handmade candlesticks on the wedding table are elegant. To create them, you can also use inverted glasses, place buds inside the bowl that match the theme of the wedding:

Floor lamps are perfect here, they look unusual, cute. Turn the glass over, make a floating candle, and depict wedding motifs on the glass with paints (hints of a suit and a wedding dress, bright hearts, gentle doves, etc.).

In general, choose according to the style, mood of the wedding. You can navigate by time of year. For the decor of an autumn wedding, examples of wood and leaves are also suitable, for summer or spring - more greenery, for winter - white, cold shades, needles, cones.
