16. Concrete Candle Holders and Pedestals
Cast concrete creates a bold, industrial aesthetic that anchors lighter room textiles and delicate glass decor. By pouring fast-setting concrete mix into upcycled silicone molds, plastic containers, or milk cartons, you can craft custom geometric pillar candle stands, ring dishes, and display pedestals. Leaving air bubbles exposed creates an authentic industrial finish, while polishing the surfaces produces a sleek, modern look. Adding metallic leafing or color-pigment swirls directly into the wet mix offers endless custom design opportunities for modern tabletops.
