Sams Wearhouse, use to be just "the wearhouse" has tea lights - 100 for $3! I got them from Canon Hill in Brisbane, said $5.99 (which I thought was cheap) but when I got them to the counter they were half price!

So if you are into making candleholders for tea lights, theres a supply :)

And here are three I prepared earlier. (actually, later)

I know, someone is going to say "you know you can make the whole with a such and such size drill bit" and then I'm going to scream. I thought of that AFTER I made these. But I can't afford another drill bit just now anyway, so I'll do it the hard way.

Jacaranda and 2 camphor laurel.

Always nice for Christmas time.
I use always left over pieces for tea lights.

Really a fun to make now and than tea lights, here are a couple of mine.

I'm at the opersite side of things - my "left overs" are microscopic and I had to search hard to find any big enough to make these! Oh great, something I have to get yet another size of wood for! lol

Forgot to ask - what's that light coloured wood?

Hi Eliza, I think (not sure, long time ago) the light colored was sycamore, the dark one bankirai.
