Welcome to Camp Paradise, our log cabin in Wisconsin. We live Up North in an area known as The Northwoods with thousands of lakes and acres of forests.
Living on a lake, I am always looking for beautiful nautical decor. For my project this month I made Nautical Candleholders.
My favorite DIYs are Simple + Quick + Inexpensive. And this project was all three. It cost under $20, only used a few supplies and took just minutes. The finished product was beautiful and will fit my home in so many ways.
I used a think jute twine to achieve the nautical look. I hot glued one end to the bottom of the vase and then twisted it around and around the vase until it was about 1/3 of the way up.
Then I cut the rope and glue gunned the other end to the vase. I didn’t leave any gaps in the rope, but kept each time around tight to the row below.
This project was just that simple. I added candles inside. You could do this same project with any size vase and vary up the fillers too. They would be cute full of bobbers or match the candles to the season or your decor.
I collect old books and love to stack them in all my vignettes. For this nautical scene I pulled out some blues and reds.
Changing out the pillows is another easy, quick decor change for the seasons. I bought out two of my favorite pillows from Chandler 4 Corners that have a nautical touch. Last Fall I redecorated my daughter’s room as part of The One Room Challenge in a nautical motif. You can see the details here.
The candle holders look great on the coffee table. I think they will work great on the mantel or the dining room table as well!

This is such a great idea Kristin, and I have been wanting to do something like this too. You have inspired me and now I need to get to it in time for spring and summer. Thanks for sharing and wonderful hopping with you.
Thanks so much Chas!
Such a great idea! Thanks so much for sharing, Kristin!
Thanks Mary Beth! Fun to tour with you!
Kristin, I love these as well as your collection of nautical pillows. I live in SC so these would be beachy. I have only been to Wisconsin once but I do remember the lakes!
I love the Chandler 4 Corners pillows!
Your rope wrapped candle holders look so high end! Love them!
Thanks so much Cindy! I love how they turned out!
Kristin these are awesome! I have a coastal themed master bedroom and these would be perfect in there! THanks for the great tutorial and idea!
I love your coastal bedroom! These would be pretty there!
Creating a nautical theme is always a good idea. Especially when you love the water as much as I do. Thanks for the tutorial and fun idea! Have a wonderful week.
Thanks so much Meegan! This tour was so fun!
I love this idea! A few of these would look great on the coffee table on our patio at the lake. I adore how you styled the candle holders with a nautical theme. The vintage lover in me especially loved the old books and super neat sailboat tin that you used.
These will look so cute outside on your patio by the lake! whenever i go down the rope isle in the hardware store, my creative juices just start to flow; it holds such great possibility!
Thanks Lora! There are so many things on my to do list with rope! Would be a fun DIY hop to all do different rope projects!!
