I think it\u2019s the season of life I\u2019m in\u2026there is ALWAYS a crafty project going on, whether it\u2019s with my little students at school or my own kiddos at home.\u00a0 That kind of leaves me just not in the mood for DIY sometimes\u2026or often without the time to do the kinds of DIY projects that I enjoy.<\/p>\n
Or maybe it\u2019s that I don\u2019t have a ton of patience for complicated projects that involve many items and an arsenal of craft supplies!\u00a0 (Please say I\u2019m not alone here!)<\/p>\n
When I saw this super cute little terra cotta pots at an antiques show, though, I knew they would be fun for something!\u00a0 I love that they are old and already have that great garden patina.\u00a0 Plus, they were only 50 cents, so you just can\u2019t go wrong with that.<\/p>\n

Anytime I am out vintage hunting, I always keep an eye out for small, inexpensive items that could make fun and simple<\/em> DIY projects<\/strong>.\u00a0 Little pots, small salvage pieces, wood remnants, scrap fabric (especially old linens!), vintage books, interesting paper items like cards, seed packets, and music\u2026all items that don\u2019t have to cost hardly anything and you\u2019re not committed to an expensive project!<\/p>\n I also like to only store what I know I\u2019ll use again<\/strong>, so inexpensive little items are fun because I don\u2019t feel obligated to keep them around for years to come.\u00a0 I can enjoy them for the time and then move them along!<\/p>\n I decided to pull them out for a garden-themed tablescape and the inspiration hit.\u00a0 It took me all of 5 minutes to make 6 of these garden-inspired, terra cotta candle holders.<\/strong>\u00a0 The best part, you probably already have some of these things laying around your house:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.7.1″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”FIve Items you will need” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Terra-Cotta-Candle-Holder-1-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Terra Cotta Candle Holder (1)” admin_label=”Before Image” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.7.1″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”How To 1″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I lined the bottom of my pots with a piece of tin foil<\/strong> to hold in the tiny rocks.\u00a0 If you have saucers, that would do the trick too, though the foil is still a good idea to hold everything in<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Terra-Cotta-Candle-Holder-4-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Terra Cotta Candle Holder (4)” admin_label=”How To 1 Image” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”How To 2″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fill the terra cotta pot about 1\/3 of the way with your sand or filler<\/strong>.\u00a0 Depending on the size of your terra cotta pot, you can adjust this as needed.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”How To 3″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Set your taper candle in place.\u00a0 I pushed it down a little to secure it, then held it straight with one hand while filling in around it with more of the tiny rocks.\u00a0 Fill the terra cotta pot almost to the top<\/strong>, leaving just enough room for the last step.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re using a larger terra cotta pot, consider putting a few candles in the pot, kind of like I did on THIS centerpiece with ironstone pots<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”How To 2-3 collage” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px”]<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
