Candle holder .... kind of

[Gezzer]

With no real project to work on my mind starts grinding . Wife has a bunch of these Tealight candles around the house sooooooooooo

 

Friction fit and baseball stitch up the back , now I have a project

Nice, I like it.

That's really nice. I like the colors.

Very medieval... cool idea well done.

[Gezzer]

Thanks folks !

Wife said she'd take 6 dark ones and 6 lighter ones .

I like the idea, but candle fires are a big issue, and I'd be worried the leather might get way too hot.  Maybe there is a way to isolate it a bit more from the heat?

They look cute

Maybe not; I can hold a lit tea-light candle in my fingers. The aluminium cup doesn't get too hot

Maybe, but I don't do candles anymore.  Still cool to the touch after 3/4 or more down?

Valid concerns @YinTx for sure !!

 

 These have around a 125 degree melting point and I have no idea what the flash point is. We have always " ringed " new container candles to get a better burn , doing so seems to change how they melt ( burns more straight down ) . Most times the wick will fall over before the sides melt . While we don't  ever leave them unattended being cautious is NEVER a bad thing and Thank you for calling me on it .

@Gezzer maybe you could  include a slight rim around the edge so that if the candle is lifted, the melted wax will not overflow onto someone's hands? 

I love this pattern though. Do you think you could share the pattern?
