About this project This wooden candle box is designed for use with tea candles or, more commonly, "tea lights." These are candles that are usually less than one inch tall and contained by a metal or plastic retainer. Because of this feature, they are safe to use as shown with this project. Please DO NOT USE THIS BOX WITH VOTIVE CANDLES, OR WITH ANY TYPE OF CANDLES OTHER THAN TEA CANDLES. NEVER LEAVE BURNING CANDLES UNATTENDED. This candle box allows you to both display and store your tea candles. When you wish to burn your candles, use the box as shown in the photo. When you're finished using them, place the candles in the box, reverse the lid with the base, and you have an attractive wooden box to accent the space of your choice. This project is easy and quick to complete—probably no more than an hour will be required. Also, you won't have to spend an arm and a leg on materials; usually all you'll need are scraps of hardwoods! Due to these features, the candle box makes an ideal craft show item or personal gift. For those of you who enjoy decorative painting (or know someone who paints), this project also provides an ideal surface for such artistry.
