Best Candle Holders

Candle holders are a great accessory that holds candles steady while providing either a useful or ambient light. Candle holders usually have a secure base, which often includes a small ring or indention designed to hold the end of a candle. When choosing the right candle holder, consider the type of candle you want to burn. Some smaller holders with wide rings are designed strictly for tea lights or votive candles. Others with narrow rings can handle taper candles. It is important to make sure you have the right kind of candle holder, or it will not work properly, and can cause a fire hazard. Wide-based candles may not actually need a holder to stay upright. However, in this case a candle holder can help protect your tabletop by providing a catcher for any spilled wax that melts or splashes over the side of your candle.
