Sometimes the best projects start in the scrap pile.
In my latest YouTube Short, “This Was Scrap… Now It’s a Candle Holder 🔥”, I turn a forgotten offcut of wood into a simple, rustic candle holder using basic woodworking techniques. It’s a quick project, but it perfectly shows how scrap wood can be transformed into something practical and beautiful.

From Scrap Wood to Rustic Décor
Most workshops have pieces of wood that seem too small or rough to use — but those scraps often have the most character.
For this project, I used:
A small piece of scrap wood
Basic workshop tools
A simple candle insert
No fancy materials. No complicated joinery. Just a focus on texture, grain, and natural imperfections — the things that give rustic décor its charm.
Why Scrap Wood Projects Matter
Turning scrap into décor isn’t just satisfying — it’s practical.
✔ Reduces waste
✔ Saves money
✔ Creates unique, one-of-a-kind pieces
✔ Perfect for handmade home décor
This candle holder is a great example of how small woodworking projects can still make a big visual impact, especially in cosy, rustic interiors.
Perfect for Rustic & Cosy Homes
A wooden candle holder like this works beautifully in:
Cosy living rooms and dining tables
It’s simple, timeless, and fits perfectly with natural materials like oak, pine, and reclaimed wood.
