Inspired to make smaller functional works that are unique and affordable, these railroad nut holders can be used for candles,  dried flowers or a stand for other objects.  

I will say, if you use these as candle holders don't leave them unattended.  I am not responsible for any damage that may occur if candles drip/drop or do anything unexpected!

I ground off the rust and cold welded each nut/washer.  The bottom is rust free and ready for felt or bumpers if need be.  If you put these outdoors I would suggest putting a rust inhibitor on the bottom if you don't want the rust to come back.  I personally like the natural patina and wouldn't care either way.

These were time consuming to make, at present I only plan on making one more set (of six) then I'm out of nuts and probably done for awhile. So this is it!
