Concrete Candle Holder How To Make | DIY Build

How to make a concrete candle holder. Just so happen to be looking around the house, saw a couple bags of concrete and scrap wood. Somehow a candle holder is what I came up with.This a pretty easy project to make through the week.

Good heavens! You are not just creative, you're an artist! I love watching you make things!

[@kdewitt41]

I'm working my way through all you videos. They are so cool... like dayum!! I'm inspired!!!!!

[@devisatriani3639]

Sir, you gives simple and clear instructions for a rookie like me. Thank you so much for your videos.

[@suit1337]

just a tip: if you put the concrete in the sun you do not speed up the "drying process" - you just let water evaporate and have a lesser quality concrete concrete does not harden though the evaporating water, it cures (in an exothermic chemical reaction) due to crystal formation (calcium oxide and hydroxide and silicon dioxide) - this takes a few days to weeks - an for proper curing it takes months to years even after the concrete is apperently "dry" if you mix the concrete too wet i can have an impact on the strength - if you mixt i too dry you prevent the reaction from running properly and will have definitly a weaker endproduct this does not really matter in your case - but if you pour, for example, a concrete slab or a foundation, you need to follow the instructions properly - and if it is outside you need to cover the fresh concrete from direct sunlight or rain and sometimes you even need to keep it wet to prevent cracks in the surface

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you. Sorry not a pro just a DIY guy. Not everything will be perfect its all trial and error, live and learn.

[@IAmTjay116]

*apparently

[@suit1337]

thx, i'm not a native speaker and appreciate feedback to improve myself :)

[@yasyas7405]

I really enjoyed your videos..they inspire me a lot bro....you deserve like ,share and subscribe..

[@seigeengine]

This is true, however, excess water in the mix also produces lesser quality concrete, and ends up evaporating out.

[@mrgpro799]

That looks AMAZING!!!!! GREAT JOB! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@johnbuhler8275]

I can't stop watching your amazing creations Glenn. Awesome job on this one. Truly inspiring.

[@rrcreations760]

I just found your channel and I'm now binge watching your videos!😂

[@dakotawoodworx2282]

Awesome build. Very inspiring. Clean, simple, elegant. Straight to the point videos with no frills and clear explanations. Keep up the great work. One of my favorite channels to watch.

[@elisaallen823]

Amazing designs, and I love you explanations. Keep making videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@tonyagibbs7378]

Great project for outdoor table!

[@BajaSurf]

I like your videos a lot. Cool ideas, we'll explained, like your accent, it's so laid back! Cheers

[@IceColdGeico]

I like this one too! Very nice idea. My g/f loves candles, and I think I'm going to make this for her. A very unusual gift!

[@jeffklaubo3168]

if you use unsealed wood for moulding, moisten it before you put in the concrete, it will prevent the wood from stealing the water from the chemical reaction of the cement. also after you have it in there shaking the mould/tap it with a hammer/or running and orbital sander or other vibrating tool over it will work up the air bubbles from the concrete. but very nice and a great idea

[@mozes42]

Glen, just wanted to say thanks for the channel. 100% of the Christmas presents I'm giving this year are projects from your videos. Keep up the great work!

[@Mr2at]

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Great job.

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you.

[@goodgoat6019]

Great looking project and unlike wood, fireproof.

[@TheFilamom30]

Dude, you got the moves...lol! This is one of the BEST concrete project vids I've watched. Thx for sharing your product... God bless!

[@BarryLiberty]

hey thank you for sharing. I love your "i can do it" attitude and the beautiful results. You're a wonderful creative inspiration. "rock on" 👍🏼

[@paulverling3758]

1:42 "all I wanted..." +++ great vid I'm gonna make some for my moms Birthday coming up!

[@jorgemendieta5121]

Muy bonito elegante y limpio trabajo saludos desde oanama

[@willofthemaker]

nice project. came out looking nice and elegant

[@DIYCreators]

+Will's World Thanks man!

[@JoeyMrTurbo]

Your videos are really amazing! They inspire me so much and I love your design aesthetic.

[@jimgam730]

Great idea! If you ever make one again, try using some plain motor oil on the wood form, it helps the form release from the concrete easier.

[@DIYCreators]

+jimgam730 Thank you I was thinking of cooking oil. For the next concrete project. How easy is the motor oil clean up?

[@jimgam730]

About as easy as cooking oil, lol

[@DIYCreators]

+jimgam730 Well I'll give it a shot. Thanks

[@JustJJr]

Definitely going to design something for my candle business using this!!

[@jamesbalafas]

That is amazing!! You make it look so easy. Absolutely brilliant

[@djeanna8356]

I'm always looking for easy craft ideas to do with my grandkids. This is a great one, though I'll have to buy the pre shaped wooden frame.

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Nice design! I saw a cool trick on making a concrete countertop. They used a recip saw without a blade up against the form to vibrate out all the bubbles and make a smoother edge. Thought it was a good idea.

[@DIYCreators]

Thanks, yep your right also a palm sander would work as well.

[@cliffcarlo180]

Nice tip with the reciprocating saw. I use a large bolt in a hammer drill, really rocks those bubbles out and settles the concrete a treat. Thanks for sharing.

[@wesbilly]

Darn cool... I'm getting a bag of concrete tomorrow

[@donantonio7335]

Awesome little weekend make. Will definitely try it.

[@DIYCreators]

+Panzergrau Arts Thanks go for it

[@SwinginJohnson74]

Great project for the kids. Thank you for sharing.

[@MrFlapperDapper]

Just another tip to get the air bubbles out of the concrete, when you've put the concrete in, get an orbital sander (without sandpaper on) and put it on the "shuttering", switch it on and the bubbles will come to the surface immediately.

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you this one was my first concrete project. So a few thing could have been better.

[@leosuniverse]

Having additional liquid lessens the chance of bubbles and is perfectly fine in a project like this a few little taps is fine however having the candle pieces on top would probably be best to do before putting those in also many people forget to put rocks\aggregate and for something like this I would use much smaller ones which you can find at the dollar store usually a ratio of 1 part cement 2 parts sand and 1-2 parts aggregate in this 1 would probably be enough

[@trendinglivetv]

You just created it so well.This was awesome sir.

[@ajjberry1478]

love all your work

[@traciebarrass6612]

Love that 💚

[@ThePDog74]

nice job going to add this to my list of projects

[@DIYCreators]

+ThePDog74 Thank you it was a fun one.

[@willgray8213]

Great beginner concrete project idea for this of us who want to make a concrete table top but too scared to try :)

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you. I do have one of those on my to do list. Don't be afraid to fail just try it, but on a small scale.

[@tylercrane1949]

DIY creators, you should make a kitchen cabinet with a secret compartment

[@jprutube77]

Great work. Learning lots on your videos. I think since I'm going to epoxy the wood to the bottom, I may try to decrease the height of the concrete. Hoping that doesn't make it weaker. Thanks for the tips!

[@DIYCreators]

That's awesome Thank you. If you want to make the concrete thinner I would suggest using some chicken wire. You can also use a wire clothes hanger cut it into pieces and place it in the concret to provide extra support.

[@secretdupattewali6525]

Just a tip..apply some oil on the corner of the wooden box to make conrete dont stick with the wall of wooden box and hence make it more beautiful

[@jamesbarlowjr.3762]

Love It! Lol Why Am I Just Now Seeing This? 🤝

[@IAM369IAM]

Amazing!

[@wg1948]

love this

[@hasrulmahyuzarmelayu2982]

Its so inspire me,and its too simple... Thanks bro......

[@DIYCreators]

You're welcome!

[@sle28]

Looks so great!

[@Purpletuna_ee01]

Really great job man

[@zifnab6824]

This was a nice project, good job on the final product. to make things easier for you though, you might want to adjust the guides on your bandsaw to almost touching the blade and the thrust bearing to just touching. It will make cutting curves a lot easier and give you more control over the blade.

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you! Will definitely Give that a shot.

[@DigitalSwagg]

Very cool, l like this project and I think my daughters will enjoy making this as well, many thanks!

[@DIYCreators]

Nice I think she will enjoy. Im looking forward to making things with my daughter when grow up.

[@lblake5653]

Really nice and creative. Young man you are an inspiration. Keep doing your thing!

[@chrissleblanc]

[@MichiganHiker]

very nice, gives me ideas for some candle holders I want to make. thanks for sharing!

[@joselgarcia7]

Well done!

[@anitawilson4622]

Love it. The only thing I would have done differently when doing this simple diy. Is to use a plastic or rubber container from the dollar tree to format the concrete.

[@danielortizdecaracas]

really beatiful piece

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you

[@christopherstrudwick]

loving the channel and your projects keep up the awesome work

[@Mixey360]

I appreciate that the stains and etc are shown as well.

[@yellowroseoftexas2890]

There you go again, creating by thinking outside the box and sharing. This beautiful idea is brilliant. What a great way to add needed texture to any area. I can even add a bit of concrete dye to introduce a new color & texture. This idea could be modified to be used for a herb/spice rack. Thank you.

[@DIYCreators]

+Brenda Falcone Thank you. :)

[@ddq123]

i look forward to making this

[@MM-ob8ti]

Very nice work.

[@bigdaddyshane]

[@dusktheowlgryphon]

BEAUTIFUL

[@marilynscroggin980]

Awesome work🌟👍🌟

[@tamaralikeyou.400]

very nice....thank you for the idea...

[@TOCBass31]

Small tip with concrete: Use an old electric tooth brush or ladies toy to get air bubbles out of you mix. Just run the tooth brush or toy on each side to vibrate out any air bubbles trapped. This will give you a more solid and consistent curing processes.

[@101boertjie]

Great build man, i love the idea of using concrete to make this kind of thing. If you want some color in the candle block, maybe ad some coloring agent to the mixture, it makes things pop out with the color, but still keep the cement texture. I used spray-lacquer to finish of some projects and it also works very well.

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you. I plan to make more and ill add some of your suggestion.

[@kidjackson8019]

Well done!!

[@tracybrown4941]

Cool project.

Beautiful

[@kalillita]

Great Job

[@pamhoven]

I love your videos! You make such cool things and your step by step instructions are great!

[@TheRemedica]

Hey man, when you're putting concrete in the form, I would suggest you to oil the form first, that way the concrete comes loose easier after you remove the form and it decreases the changes concrete to break.

[@DIYCreators]

It was my first concrete diy project. So there was a few things I could have done better but thank you.

[@TheRemedica]

Aight np, just thought to give heads up for you and maybe some viewers :) The project was very nice and came out nice tho! :)

[@mackumpas1152]

Nice concept & great vid - I couldn't help wondering if the guide bearings on your band-saw need a tweak though, You've got more blade travel than I've seen in a long while! Please keep the show going

[@johnwalsh6844]

Vary Cool.

[@loganenox8330]

quick tip: tap the sides of the mold so you get rid of all the air bubbles

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you
