Create these easy DIY farmhouse candle pedestals anyone can make! Simple and beautiful for any space in your home!

I have five blog notebooks. Five of them. I carry each one around with me at different times and always jot down project ideas I have.

Some of those ideas are big, some are small. Some work, others don’t. That’s the name of the game though when it comes to being a DIYer.

I cannot tell you how many projects I have finished that I’ve never shared. I thought maybe they weren’t important enough for an entire blog post. They are mostly the smaller ones that don’t make the cut.

The little details that add charm to a space. The accessories of a room, I guess you could call them. These are my favorite parts, and I finally realized I want to share them.

This project is one of the more simple ideas I had. You can find me wandering around stores on the weekends in hopes that a project will fall into my lap.

I came across some little raw wood plaques one night, and after playing around with them for a few minutes had an idea. They would make great farmhouse candle pedestals for some new pillar candles I just bought.

So that’s just what I did.

Directions for Farmhouse Candle Pedestals

  • I started by staining the wood plaques with my favorite dark wood stain

  • Once completely dry, I used my hand sander around the edges and top to give them an old, worn look

  • Next, I cleaned off the dust from sanding them, and I used some hemp oil (which I LOVE to use on all my stained wood pieces to give them a finished clean look, and to seal it) on each round plaque

  • You can also use some wood glue to add a small plaque to the top of a larger one to have a layered, taller candle pedestal

And guess what? Set a pillar candle on top and you are done! So. Simple.

    Yes, I just found this and signed up for your newsletter. And I would LOVE to see other ideas for simple small projects. I’m always looking for this kind of craft to do with my 8 year old grandson. Crafts that really do make things that are useful that he can take home to his mom.

    Totally worthy. Love this little DIY. I think these are important for those of us who aren’t as skilled in the DIY arena, gives us options. 🙂 Also, glad to hear I am not the only notebook addict.
