I like the look of a lot of these, but the wooden candle holders are really cute and unique. It’s fun how they are just the flat planks put together to be crosses. My sister really like making wooden craft projects like this, I should show it to her.

I just wanted to give a heads up that some of the links don’t work anymore, the year of dates gives domain error, and the DIY kitchen tablet seems like a private blog.
