Metallic Reclaimed Wood Log Votive Holders

I have been wanting some wood candle holders for a while now, but just never fell in love with any I have been seeing in stores.  I have been slightly obsessed with the idea of dipping things halfway in metallic paint (I've got this great idea for a new media stand for our living room half painted metallic silver).  Well from that came our latest DIY project:  Metallic Reclaimed Wood Log Votive Holders. 

DIY: Concrete Pillar Votive Candle Holders

So I have a bench on my front porch and I like to decorate it differently for the different seasons.  I have been struggling trying to decide what to do on it lately and then I saw some super cute pillar concrete candle holders.  I just HAD to have them but they were $15-$20 each and I wanted a bunch of them to have a little collection of them.  Well that definitely wasn't in the budget.  I figured it couldn't be that hard to make so I went on a mission to make a DIY out of them so I could make them in the sizes I wanted and with the color paint I wanted.  It  turned out it was super easy and super inexpensive to make them myself!  Here is my DIY instructions on how to make these oh-so-darling Concrete Pillar Votive Candle Holders!
