Concrete allows you to model it into a shape that would work great as a candle holder set. This can work great if you want to do a fun DIY candle holder project.
Start by working on your molds as they help shape the candle holder just as you want. So, you can always have something stylish rather than boring candle holders.
Give the concrete in the mold enough time to dry and take it out for decorating around the house.
Saucers

You may have several saucers or small dishes around the house. Yes, such utensils can be good for working as a candle holder. That is why you always want to get a pretty saucer to use as a candle holder.
Let the candle drip a bit of wax onto the saucer and stick it into the wax. This largely helps to secure the candle in the saucer. Then, add other ornaments on the same saucer to ensure you get more aesthetics from the candle holder, making it look good.
Do the same thing if you are going to work with small dishes.
Glass Vases

It depends on the size of the vase, its mouth opening, its height, and more. Let us say you want to use it for tealight candles; opt for a cylindrical glass vase and then fill it with enough water first. All you now need to do is add the tealight candle at the top of the water and light it. It will definitely look like the perfect candle holder set you have always wanted.
