Introduction
There’s something magical about candlelight—it brings warmth, calm, and a sense of coziness to any space.
With a laser cutter, you can design and build your own wooden candle holder, combining practical function with artistic flair. This project is simple, rewarding, and gives you the freedom to create a design that matches your personal style—whether minimalist, patterned, or intricate.
Before your work begins
Clean the lens and mirrors
Check the laser head and nozzle for dust or buildup

Confirm the machine is running smoothly and normally
Operational Process
STEP01
Prepare & Position the Material
Start by laying your wooden board flat on the laser bed. Make sure the surface is clean and sits evenly without warping.
Use pins to prevent any shifting during cutting. Be mindful of the height of magnets and pins. If they are too tall, the sensor might hit them and become damaged during processing.
STEP02
Import & Adjust the Design File
Import the wooden candle holder design in LaserMaker and check if your plywood size is large enough.
Double-check everything, and decide if you want to add or subtract elements according to your preferences. For the laser cutting layers, pay extra attention to the power setting.
STEP03
Set the Correct Laser Focus
Proper focusing ensures neat, polished edges. If your machine has auto focus, use it for quick setup. For manual focusing, lower the laser head with the focus stick until it touches the wood surface at a perfect angle. Always double-check before cutting.
STEP04
Start Cutting
Use the software’s frame option to trace the outline of the design with a red light. This confirms your material placement and avoids wasting wood. Adjust as necessary.
Once everything is set, start the laser job. Stay close to the machine while it’s running and watch the cutting progress. Keep an eye out for excessive smoke, small flame-ups, or any movement of the material that could affect the outcome.
STEP05
Post Processing
Slot the wooden pieces together according to your design, starting with the base and sides, then securing the top.
Use wood glue if needed for extra strength, and wipe away any excess glue before it dries. Once assembled and dried, place a small tea light or LED candle inside and enjoy the warm glow.
Come and Try!
My candle holder is glowing on the table—how about yours? With just a sheet of wood and your laser cutter, you can craft a cozy little lantern that reflects your style. I’m sure your design will shine even brighter—so go ahead, start your project, and let’s light up the room together.
