There was a time when I binge-built candle holders. Tealights, in particular, somehow got embedded in my mind. And once my brain locked onto them, I saw possibilities for attractive décor nearly everywhere! Men love candles (oh, come on—we can say it out loud), and tealight holders make great gifts as well. Armed with a drill and a two-inch Forstner bit, you can transform any piece of wood into an object of beauty.
Of course, my favorite project is always the one I just completed. In the above photo, you see insulator tealight holders nestled in Florida cypress with Pacific sea glass. Sounds a lot like my last restaurant order! And the outcome is just as delightful. Found the insulators at a yard sale for a couple of bucks each. Friends gave me the sea glass when I left California for Florida—it fits nicely in the bottom of the upside-down insulators beneath the glass candle holders. Nice color. Took me only about an hour, start to finish.
Another option you might want to consider is a ladder photo display. Such a fun project. Not only can you enjoy the hunt for the right ladder, but you can also shoot your own pics. I shot some of my favorite scenes in the local area. And I tracked down the frames on Amazon—with a sharp handsaw, I had no trouble making them fit!
