DIY Christmas Glitter Candle Holders

Do you ever make gifts  that you like and you don’t really want to give away?  I do this all the time.  I mean, of course I could always make it again for myself but I never do.  You don’t have to spend a lot of money to create unique gifts that are thoughtful and make a beautiful statement.  Most of the supplies needed to create these pretty DIY Christmas Glitter Candle Holders were items I already had stashed away.

 DIY  Christmas Glitter Candle Holders

Another thing I like, is when an idea in my head comes to life easily.  It doesn’t happen like that all the time though.   Yes, I do have many craft fails but not this time.  I originally made these Glitter Candles Holders as part of the So You Think You’re Crafty Challenge.   Even though I didn’t win that week, I was able to mark a check on my Christmas gift list this year.   Win, Win!

 

 

I purchased glass candle holders in various sizes from the Dollar Store and spray painted them with Frosted Glass Spray.

 

After the paint was dry, I brush a thin layer of Mod Podge around the edge of the glass, sprinkled them with gold glitter then shook off  the excess.

 

 

I used my Silhouette to cut out Holiday Shapes with metallic vinyl to adhere on to the front of the candles.

 

Aren’t these candle holder so pretty?  Such a beautiful, yet simple and elegant project too.

 

 

 

If you plan on making these Glitter Candle Holders as a gift,  just wrap them up in a cellophane bag, tie a pretty red ribbon around the top and stamp a sentiment on a tag.   I just love the way they turned out.  Which one is your favorite?
