ChrisG-Canada Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 I’ll post this question in the Marketplace, but I’m not selling anything... My wife want me to make several (many) different types of tea light candle holders from wood - in a bunch different styles, etc. In order to make life a lot easier and to best suit some of the design styles, I’m hoping to find an affordable source for metal tealight cup holders/grommets. These are not the metal cups the wax is poured into to make the actual tealights but rather a slightly larger cup/dish that a finished tealight can be placed into and easily removed/replaced as necessary. The pic is what I’m looking for... The only online source I’ve found is the UK version of Amazon (where I sourced this pic) - but that seller doesn’t ship to Canada. i see these things used in all types of pre-manufactured tealight fixtures so there must be a source for them. Maybe I just can find the proper Google search term to find them... Any suggestions, sources or other useful ideas are most welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Those resemble sliding door pulls. Many of those are only finger sized, but maybe a similar product would fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the casting size...no bigger... and come with many deformed/crushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keggers Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Okay. I'll try to help again. You might want to look at Lee Valley - http://www.leevalley.com/us/wood/page.aspx?p=44948&cat=1,43326,44948. Might not be exactly what you're looking for but there are various sizes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
