We made modern tea light candle holders with built in tea light storage! links below! We messed up a lot on this project, and it will always remind us of Hurricane Harvey (which hit right after we finished) but we still really love the design. Written tutorial here: https://goo.gl/JiSBnZ

At the end of the video, we mention a raffle we’re doing to raise money for Harvey relief. We made a CNC’d topographical Texas and every $25 donation you make to the Houston Flood Relief Fund (organized by JJ Wat: https://www.youcaring.com/victimsofhu...) is worth one entry (enter as many times as you want). Just send us a screenshot of your donation on instagram (@evanandkatelyn) or via email [email protected] to enter. We'll announce the winner Friday 9/8 at noon CST (it’s made of pine and is about 10x8.5 inches, and US shipping is free). Please share with anyone you think would want to enter we'd love to get as many donations as we can!

We've included more links below to help with the Harvey recovery effort. The response from locals and the entire population has been heartwarming, and we want to do our small part to help. Any donation no matter how large or small is greatly appreciated.

A few more thoughts on the project itself: even though we messed up, we still really like how these DIY candle holders turned out. The storage is what really makes us like them, but we also like the faceted hex design because we feel like it is more modern than traditional pillar candle holders. Overall, we've been loving making modern DIY decor and because these also have built in storage, they are one of our favorites
