I used jute twine to knot various length twigs together to make a simple, rustic, organic statement with this second-hand votive holder. The twig "fence" merely slides over top of the votive's shape and naturally angles to support itself. I like the "casual" angle of the twigs rather than forcing them to stand vertically.

I'm planning on creating more along these lines but perhaps a bit more intricate in layout and design.
