diy by 22  diy project: cobbler’s stand candle holder  When the
day comes to a close during winter, I find myself inside with my
laptop, but that changes as the days get longer and the nights
get warmer. There aren’t many things more relaxing than watching
the sun set from the view of my front porch on a warm summer
night. Candle light flickering just adds to the peaceful mood.
The thing about candles and being outside is that you always
have to keep wind in mind. This simple candle holder made of a
cobbler’s shoe stand and mold is heavy and strong enough to
withstand the wind, and it adds an eclectic, romantic feel to a
basic candle in a mason jar. Plus, it is easily moved inside
during rainy or cold months. — Ashley      • hardback book (I
wanted a base a bit wider than my stand for extra stability. I
used an old book I found for $1, but you could use scrap wood
for your base as well.)   • cobbler’s shoe stand and mold   •
