Concrete DIY Candle Holders

July 5, 2014 by Shellie Wilson

concrete-craft-candles

If you’re a fan of the industrial aesthetic, you’re probably familiar with the trend of making candles in concrete holders. But have you ever thought about using a Pringle tin to create a unique and eye-catching candle holder?

The Pringle tin offers a tall and cylindrical shape that’s perfect for creating a dramatic centerpiece or adding some height to your table settings. And because it’s made of metal, it fits in perfectly with the industrial style that’s become so popular in recent years.

To make your own Pringle tin candle holder, you’ll need a few basic supplies, including concrete mix, a Pringle tin, a candle wick, and some basic tools like a mixing bowl and a pair of scissors. The process involves mixing up the concrete, pouring it into the tin, and inserting the wick before the concrete sets.

The end result is a striking and versatile candle holder that can be used in a variety of settings, from formal dinner parties to casual BBQ gatherings. And because you’re using a Pringle tin, you can easily customize the design with paint, stencils, or other decorative touches.

Full Pringle Tin Candle Holder Tutorial can be found here.

If you’re looking for a fast, fun, and beginner-friendly quilt project, Leah Day’s Stack and Whack Four Patch Quilt Tutorial is an absolute must-see. Whether you’re new to quilting or just craving a fresh project that showcases beautiful fabric combinations with minimal fuss, this clever method ticks all the boxes.

We took a deep dive into Leah’s tutorial to see just how effective this technique is—and spoiler alert—it’s a game-changer for quilters of all skill levels.

What Is a Stack and Whack Four Patch Quilt?
The “stack and whack” method is a time-saving piecing technique that allows you to cut and sew multiple quilt blocks quickly by layering fabrics, slicing them together, and mixing the pieces to create striking, high-contrast four-patch blocks. It’s the perfect fusion of efficiency and creativity.

In Leah Day’s tutorial, she breaks down the method step by step, showing how to create 48 unique four-patch blocks with just 8 fat quarters. This makes it an excellent scrap-busting project, too!

Why We Love Leah Day’s Tutorial

Her detailed guidance makes the process feel simple and doable, even if you’re new to rotary cutting or haven’t made a quilt before.

2. Great for Fat Quarters and Stash Busting
If your fabric stash is overflowing with fat quarters or random yardage, this project will help you use those prints in a fresh, dynamic way. The stack-and-whack method allows for unexpected fabric combinations, making every quilt unique.

3. Fast Piecing = Quicker Finishes
