Pinterest really is a black hole of ideas. If only I had more time, I would be a DIY machine when it comes to wood projects. But alas, on top of work, I’m currently trying to nurse a sick husband back to health, so time is not on my side.
This was a fairly easy project that involves candle votives, hot glue and lots and lots of sticks. Luckily, our yard is incredibly giving in the stick department. I have to do some final glue touch ups before I can give these as a birthday present to my aunt but I really liked how they turned out.
What do you think? Cute or ridiculous?

They look like something you can buy at Pier One or World Market, very cute!
Aw, thank you!
A SICK HUSBAND?!?!?!
And you’re playing with sticks? My goodness, sick husbanditis is something I take very seriously! Please tell your hubby to hang in there and all of us mans here on the blogosphere are praying he makes it. I salute him.
Yeah, it’s been that kind of day 😀
Ahahaha, I’ll make sure he knows. 😛 He has another doctor appointment today and hopefully we’ll get some real answers. No more playing with sticks, at least at this exact moment. 😉
They look like little wooden forts I could use for my miniatures
You totally could!
Lack of time for hobbies is a real bitch, so it’s awesome to see you getting some DIY crafting time in! 😀 These turned out so cute. Well done! ❤
Thanks! I need to win millions so I can stay home and tool around with random projects. 😛
Perhaps, these should be called matchsticks! Well done.
Thanks!
Very cool. Just the thing for a nice outdoor summer’s evening/night.
Thanks! Now I may have to make more for my patio because that is a pretty splendid idea. 😛
I think they are super cute!! ❤
Thanks! She really liked them. 🙂
