Candle blocks


These were made with Stampin' Up! products, but you could use whatever. It's just a wooden block and the hole for the tea light was made using a drill or drill press. It looks like there are little feet...not sure what they are. Maybe the little wood buttons you use to plug holes in shelves? The paper is adhered with Mod Podge.
