DIY Glitter Candle Holder

DIY Glitter Candle Holder

Supplies:

Glass candle holder
Paper
Scissors*
White school glue
Glitter
Paint brush
Tape
Candle of your choice, that fits inside the glass.


*Not purchased at the dollar store

• Prepare the candle holder by washing in warm water to remove dirt, dust and fingerprints.  Dry well.
• Get your supplies together and prepare your work space with newspaper.

Tip:  Wearing gloves prevents leaving fingerprints all over the glass


Below are the instructions for candle holder I've shown you in the above video.

Instructions:

• Create a stencil (or use one you already have) for the shape you want around the base of the holder; mine is a Christmas tree.

• Take your large piece of paper and fold accordion style, so that when you cut out your shape, it creates a chain.  Because the glass I'm using has an uneven portion, I made a wide band at the bottom to cover that. 
• Once you have your chain, turn the glass upside down and tape the paper to the glass.  Arrange it as you would like it.
• Pour a small amount of white school glue into a cup or small bowl.
• Using a paint brush, paint all of the exposed glass with glue. Make sure you glue carefully around the edges of the shapes so you will get a clear edge to the design.
• Shake glitter on the glued areas.
• You can also add glue to the rim of the glass and set the glass upside down in the extra glitter on your work paper.
• Allow to dry.
• Remove the paper shapes.  If you'd like to keep the paper shapes, that's fine too.  The glue will dry clear and the shapes will be stuck to the glass.
• Insert your candle that fits inside the glass.

Makes a great gift or home decoration.
