Use similar materials and steps to create a candleholder.
Materials:

stainless steel cup
shrimp cocktail server ring
3 toothbrushes
butterfly screws
glue

Steps:

  1. Drill three equidistant holes around the base of the metal cup. If you want to be able to adjust the height of the holder, drill a second set of holes above the first.
  2. Drill holes in the top of each toothbrush. Soften the bristle end in heated (not boiling) water and bend them to almost a 90-degree angle.
  3. Secure the toothbrushes to the cup with butterfly screws. Apply glue to the top of the cup and place the shrimp cocktail ring on it.
