Create Candle holders from a Porch Post

While I was visiting Tennessee last month, I kept looking at something in the trash. ย Thinking I could recycle it somehow.

It’s a porch post, with a rotted bottom.

I used my Mr H’s miter saw, to cut them in to manageable ย pieces to bring back to Georgia.

I had some great helpers!

I glued some candle holders to the top and added a wider base to the round pieces.

I spray painted and stenciled.

They look rustic and fancy.

I left the imperfections, even added a little distressing.

Not too bad for trash.


Truly a trash to reFreshed treasure!

    1. I Love this! What I am wondering is what you used for the top… are those two pieces a tin looking round piece of something and an embossed wood something?
