After yesterday’s DIY project combining my love for color and marble, I got inspired to create a pair of coordinating taper candle holders. You may remember these copper marble candle holders I made a few months ago? Well, I basically took that idea and modified it with a bit of paint. These colorful stacked marble and copper candle holders are the perfect colorful addition to your dining table. And that touch of copper is just perfect for fall!

Continue reading after the break for the full tutorial.

The Supplies:

• 2″ Marble hexagon tile
• Acrylic craft paint in your choice of colors plus copper (I used 5 different colors plus copper)
• Small paint brushes
• Hot glue or industrial strength adhesive
• 3/4″ Copper end caps
• Colorful taper candles

Begin by painting the edges of your marble tiles.

Once all your tiles are painted and have dried use a dab of hot glue (or industrial strength adhesive) to adhere the tiles together to form a tall hexagon tower. When your candle holders are as tall as you like, glue the copper end cap on the top marble tile piece and you’re done!

Either drip a few bits of hot wax into the copper to set the candle in place or use a piece of clay inside the end cap to keep the candles in place.

I am really loving the copper, peach, navy, and green apple colors for fall. And of course everything is better with a pop of hot pink! All in all the candle holders are pretty simple to make and considering you can make 4-5 of them for under $10, they are super affordable as well. So tell me, what colors are you drawn to for fall?
