A beaded candle holder will add beauty to your candles. Many
gift shops sell them at a very high price. You
can make them very inexpensively.
All you need
for this project is a small votive candle
holder and string beads. You can get these beads
at a craft store or else you can make your own
with beading thread and beads. If you make your
own you can use different color beads and then
you have a completely different look.
Apply a dab
of glue and start with the end of your beads.
Let that dry completely. Put some glue down
about every 1 ½” and then start wrapping the
beads around the candleholder. Try to keep
them as tight as you can. Continue wrapping and
gluing the beads in place. When you come to the
end just cut the beads apart and apply a dab of
glue.
These candle
holders look very nice on a group setting.
You can make taller candle holders the
same way. Try varying the color of the beads.
If you have a
small mirror that you can set a group of them on
they really look nice that way. Put some
small flowers or potpourri around them and
you have a great centerpiece.
If you have any
questions or any arts and crafts ideas please
contact me and I will add it to my site.
