An unlit candle argues that a moth is a myth. A lit candle pierces the darkness to offer a little brightness despite knowing it will eventually melt away. With Christmas approaching, the significance of these candles increases more than ever. However, a candle without a candle holder is like Christmas without a Christmas Tree. We are not asking you to buy a candle holder, instead, we recommend ways to make one of your own. Here’s a list of 30+ DIY Christmas candle holders made from glass bowls, wooden logs, and other easily accessible materials.
