Glass Candle Gift

This candle idea is nothing new if you've been around Blogland at all.  By simply gluing some type of container onto a candlestick, you get a nice, yet inexpensive, hurricane glass container to fill with all sorts of fun things.

 

I have not seen this exact model out there, although surely it has to be.  To make my version, pick up these candle holders at the Dollar Tree ($1 each)

and glue them onto a glass candlesticks using E6000 glue.  

The one pictured here is also from the Dollar Tree ($1 each)

I prefer to find candlesticks at garage sales, because they are actually much nicer and run between . 50-$1 each.  

 I really, really like the size and shape of this candleholder.

I have a set on the top of my piano and just 

change the decor with the season.

Giving a pair makes a wonderful gift........

.......but an even lovelier gift is to put together 

several little bags of fillers.......

.......take pictures of the various designs you've come up with.......

and give a little photo book of ideas with the candleholders.

Your non-crafty friends will appreciate the extra thought.

Hopefully the pictures throughout this post

will give you lots of ideas to try.

The concavity of the jar allows a wreath to stay put

just by bending the wire form in a bit.

This wreath wouldn't stay up, 

so a touch of hot glue holds it in place.

I'm using a glade candle inside of mine

The shape of the candle 

matches the shape of the jar.

Aren't they elegant for just a few bucks?!!!

Thanks for stopping by,
