Thus: I took a square nine-slot candle holder (Hallare) and hammered some tacks into the center of each tin cup to hold the skinny candles (it works well to hold the thumbtack with pliers while hammering to avoid finger smashing):
Then I added some white rocks (Florera) for stability - et voila, all ready for the first night:

This is a great idea. You should submit it to www.ikeahacker.com
I saw this on ikea hacker. It's a great idea - only it's not kosher. You need to make the shamash higher than the other 8 candles. Sorry, it's the former Hebrew school teacher in me - otherwise it's a great idea.
Thanks! Yeah, I actually know that that's true (and would be easy to do with this hack with just putting a few cardboard circles under the center tin cup to raise the middle candle... Still, when we were looking around at other modern-looking menorahs, we saw that many no longer do a raised shamash. I decided our secular Hanukkah can get away with it also :)
Secular or not...:(
