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 I originally made these Glitter Candles Holders as part of the So You Think You’re Crafty Challenge.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?

This is awesome! I never thought that the double-sided tape would work so well with the jars & glitter. I wish I had known about the clean-up cloth for some previous projects. It would have saved A LOT of time! Also, the flake glitter is so pretty, it looks like sequins. Thanks for the tutorial!
Yes, isn’t double sided tape the best?! And yes, a lint roller is a must in any craft room too. Holly 🙂
