How to make candlestick from repurposed bedposts
In between building larger projects, I love to tinker around with small bits and pieces! 
I had some small parts left over when I made my Pedestal Plant Stands.
I trimmed them up, and used some scrap 1×4’s to cut down into nice little squares. I routed the edges.
I drilled a pilot hole in the base and the candlestick, then screwed the screw into the base. I put the candlestick onto the screw and turned the candlestick until the base was secure.
I stained the bases with a combination of Jacobean and Mahogany to get a good match to the original color of the bed parts.
It’s hard for me to choose a favorite.
These are the ones I put together with bases.
These are random parts without bases, too easy! I suppose you could set a candle right on the top, or use a cute little holder similar to one of these:

Those look so good! And when you add up how much those would cost had you bought them~very cool project.
These are absolutely gorgeous…I love fat candlesticks…thanks for putting these in our reach.
There you go again, making something beautiful out of absolutely nothing!
What a great idea! The candlesticks look fantastic. I’m usually a hoarder but the bits and pieces sit there for many, many months before I do anything with them, usually. My husband loves it ๐
That is so cool! What a great idea…
That is just too stinking cute! Wow! And for $0–they look like the really expensive ones at the stores! Clever girl!
Gail,
These are so neat and thrifty too:)
Blessings,

They look great as always. I haven’t had a chance to do this with my left over bed parts. They all got used on other benches or for my little christmas tree stands.

Gail,
You have done it again. Thank you so much for sharing this. I love the shape of legs. Furniture legs that is lol….
The candlesticks from scraps is perfect!
Yes I tend to hold on to scraps because I just know one day I will need it. During our recent move I had to give up and give away most of my supplies. I am really missing them now because of course I NEED them. And I am constantly catching myself before I say, “See I DID NEED that!”… I have to believe each scrap and supply found a “home” or usefulness wherever it ended up or I will go crazy! Thank you for this idea and tutorial. I love the way you attached the bases to the tops. Simply yet effective. You are the best!
I have so many spare parts and what my husband likes to call junk,, but I know as soon as i throw them out Ill get a great idea or see a great idea somewhere and then want to kick myself for getting rid of it.. so I just hold on to everything. LOL
have a great day Gail.. love these candlesticks
Love this..I have my “stash” but I do use most of it. I may have to go see what odds and ends are available though.
This is very cool!!
