Looking for a heartfelt DIY project? This romantic tea‑light candle holder features two lovebirds gently touching beaks on a heart‑shaped base — an ideal laser‑cutting idea for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, weddings or any occasion that celebrates love.
We designed this piece inspired by the quiet beauty of two lovers sharing a peaceful moment. It’s a project close to my heart, and I hope it brings warmth to yours too!
Tea lights are timeless symbols of intimacy. Their soft, flickering glow paired with the heart silhouette and affectionate birds casts delicate shadows that turn any space into a romantic retreat. Whether you set it on a dinner table or gift it as a handmade keepsake, this candle holder becomes part of cherished memories.
Crafted for precision, the design blends natural wood texture with fine laser‑engraved details. It consists of 9 interlocking parts and supports both cutting and engraving. For best results use 3 mm plywood, MDF or solid wood.
