For Beginners: Easy DIY Valentine’s Candle Stand – No Power Tools Needed!
This easy DIY Valentine’s candle stand will brighten your day. No power tools are needed, and you can create this project in 5 minutes or less!
To make this beautiful stand for a jar or flameless candle, you only need a few simple materials and a sprinkle of creativity.
This stand adds a touch of handcrafted charm to any space. It could also make a great trinket dish by the sink, bathroom, or bedroom side table for your rings.
Another great idea is that you don’t have to make it for Valentine’s Day. You can substitute the top dish with a plain plate or one with any design. Vintage dishes are also wonderful.
This project is perfect for beginners. Now gather your supplies, and let’s create something beautiful!

TUTORIAL – EASY DIY VALENTINE’S CANDLE STAND
SUPPLIES
We will be using three items to create a beautiful candle stand.
- Glass taper candle holder
- 4 ½” ceramic plate (found at Hobby Lobby for 40% off)
- E6000 Industrial Strength Adhesive Glue
- Jar candle or 3.5” flameless candle
You can find small seasonal decorative ceramic plates measuring 4 to 4 1/2 inches at your local Hobby Lobby or Michael’s. The same goes for glass taper candlestick holders or glass votives. You can substitute a glass votive as your base.
Be sure to visit your local thrift store or yard sale, too. I am always picking up candlestick holders for .25 cents to $1. You will also find plates or trinket dishes.
1. DIY VALENTINE’S CANDLE STAND – GLUING
To assemble, I recommend using an industrial-strength adhesive glue such as E6000. It will withstand rinsing the candle off with water over time. The E6000 Industrial-Strength Adhesive Glue works well with gluing glass and ceramic pieces together. It is more durable.
You need to add glue around the perimeter of the top of the glass taper candle holder. Next, flip over the plate and center the top of the candle holder on it. Adjust if necessary.
2. ALLOW GLUE TO CURE
E6000 starts getting tacky in approximately 2 minutes and begins setting up in approximately 10 minutes. It will be fully cured in 24 hours and ready to use.
STYLING THE FINISHED PROJECT
The candle stand can be used in just about any room in your home. Here, it is styled in my kitchen among some of my vintage items.
You can also place it on the counter by the sink. Antique Candle Co.’s jar candles fit perfectly on the DIY Valentine’s Candle Stand.
Remember how I said it could also be used as a trinket dish for jewelry? Here, I placed it next to the bed on the nightstand.
It is perfect for a bedroom or bathroom vanity, where it can hold jewelry or other small hair items, such as clips or ponytail holders.
This project was super easy to do. What I also love about this project is that it could make a lovely gift for someone. You can tie a gift tag with a piece of ribbon around the base of it.
It would also look beautiful in a bathroom with decorative soap on it. There are so many great options! I would love to hear some of your options in the comments.

Tammy,
What a cute idea. I’ll share a link on Sunday. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you so much for sharing, Rachel. You are so sweet. I appreciate it, my friend.
I love making pedestal stands with candle holders! Dollar Tree has some great round glass “trivets” that work well! Hadn’t thought about topping the holder with holiday-inspired small saucer! Will do so now. Thanks for the idea, Tammy. Sandra
Thank you so much Sandra for your comment. I love hearing from my readers. Dollar Tree and Hobby Lobby always have the best trivets and small plates. Don’t forget about the thrift stores too!
