To give a wooden candle holder an antique look, start by lightly sanding the wood for a worn effect. Apply a dark stain or diluted paint wash, wiping it off quickly to reveal the grain. After drying, you can layer with white or gray chalk paint for a distressed look, sanding lightly in certain spots to expose layers underneath. For a finishing touch, use wax or glaze in corners and edges to mimic age-related patina. This simple technique adds character, creating a rustic, vintage charm perfect for farmhouse or shabby-chic decor themes.
