I recently made some real tree branch candle holders but I realized not everyone wants to saw and drill. I came up with a way for you to still enjoy the same look in a simpler and inexpensive way to make them yourself!
I found some contact paper that had the wood like background color I was looking for.
Measure the candles on the contact paper and cut them to the right size per candle.
Measure the candles on the contact paper and cut them to the right size per candle.
Using Dixie Belle Paint in the color Midnight I will be adding accents to the contact paper to make it look more wood like.
Using your paint brush, get a little of the paint on it, and lightly dab your brush onto the contact paper.
Continue working your way around the candle until you get the desired look you want.
Let it dry completely and you’re done!
Place them where you want them displayed.
I love the way they turned out and I think they would make great gifts as well!

Great idea! And much more economical than buying faux birch candles at a store. Visiting from DIY Linky party.
Thank you Victoria, and thanks for stopping by 🙂
What a great idea! I love how you took the contact paper and used the paint to make it look like birch wood! I am happy to meet you, at Stephanie’s recommendation 🙂 Hope you are having a great day!
Hi Marilyn, thank you for the nice compliments and thank you so much for stopping by. Stephanie is a wonderful friend, so kind of her to share my blog with all of you. Have a wonderful evening! 🙂
What a wonderful and simple idea! Those are so cute.
Thank you so much 🙂
You must have known I’d be on the hunt for Aspen trees now. Thanks for the alternative! I love the way the light shines through the contact paper. Thank you for sharing at Designing You!
Thank you Trudy, and I’m glad that the alternative will work for you. I know not everyone would want to use power tools or has extra branches laying around.
These look awesome! And so easy!
Thanks for sharing!
