DIY Dollar Tree Candle Holders

Do you want to upgrade to those candle holders you see in the department store, but they’re too expensive for you? Luckily, I found this DIY candle holders tutorial from Peony Accents on Youtube that teaches us how to make those elegant-looking candle holders – all materials from the dollar store! Get your crafty hands at work now by watching the tutorial below.

Materials:

For Style #1:

• 3 dollar tree glass candle stick holders
• gorilla glue
• Waverly chalk paint (in color plaster)
• foam brush
• antique wax and sandpaper (optional)

For Style #2

• 2 dollar tree glass candle stick holders
• 1 dollar tree glass drinking cup
• 1 dollar tree small glass vase
• gorilla glue
• Martha Stewart chalkboard paint (in color gray)
• blue painter’s tape
• foam brush

Directions:

Step 1

For the first style, glue two glass candle sticks together (one in an upright position and the other facing upside down) using gorilla glue. Glue one round mirror on each top of both candle sticks. Glue a second mirror to the first candle stick. Leave it and let it dry for 45 minutes. Use caulking from the dollar tree to fill in the gap between the two mirrors. Next, use a foam brush to add Waverly chalk paint (in color plaster.) Do about three layers of paint. After this, it’s time to add some antique wax to sand down the candle holders. (This step is optional.)

Step 2

For the second style, using gorilla glue, glue the glass cup and vase to each other. Leave it to dry for 45 minutes. Paint the bottom half of the candle stick. To get clean lines, use a painter’s tape. For the color, use Martha Stewart chalkboard paint in the color gray. Do 3-4 coats of paint. After this, remove the painter’s tape. Next, add some antique wax and sand it down. (This step is again, optional.)
