Making candlesticks
Conjure up a candlestick according to your taste

Sometimes the color doesn’t match the interior or all the wax just flows next to it. Better: lend a hand yourself and determine which style suits you.
You need:
- Approx. 7 brass sleeves (Ø 18 & Ø 22 mm, from the hardware store, or “transition nipples” e.g. from the hardware store)
- rectangular brass tray (approx. 16 x 30 x 0.5 cm, e.g. brostecopenhagen.com)
- 2-component adhesive
- rubber gloves
- Candles (here: sostrenegrene.com)
That’s how it’s done:
First arrange the individual sleeves on the tray. Make sure that they are not arranged symmetrically, as this quickly becomes static. A certain irregularity in placement creates dynamism.
Wear rubber gloves to protect your hands. Then glue the sleeves one after the other onto the tray. Once the glue has dried, you can insert the candles.
