Celebrate Hanukkah with an industrial-chic menorah.
Tip: Take one of your candles to the store when purchasing hex nuts to ensure proper fit.

Supplies
You’ll need: latex gloves, Gorilla Glue, 2 large door hinges, 9 washers, 10 copper tube end caps, 9 hex nuts and 9 candles.

Wearing gloves, glue each hinge closed, and then glue the two hinges together end to end to form the base.

Step 2
Arrange and glue washers on the hinges. Affix the tube end caps on top, doubling up on the centre shamash candle holder.

Step 3
Dot one flat side of each hex nut with glue, and then drop one in each tube. Add candles. Happy Hanukkah!
