Are you looking to create a warm
atmosphere without the effort of a fire in winter? Or do you perhaps want to
create a romantic setting for a quiet dinner with your special person? Candle
light is a really amazing and easy way to achieve this and with this great
candle holder DIY trick, you can turn a simple tea light candle into a beautiful
attention grabbing centre piece.
Wool wrapped Candle Holders are beautiful, easy and offer the
perfect flickering light required to make the room cosy.
There are only 5 requirements:
- A glass Jar,
- Wool,
- Spray Paint (colour of your choice – be we will use white),
- A tea light candle,
- Newspaper.
How do you create this stunning centre
piece?
Step 1: Wrap a piece of wool around the glass jar in any shape you
want and secure it,
Step 2: Place the jar on a piece of newspaper,
Step 3: Spray paint over the jar until the jar is fully covered in
paint,
Step 4: Wait for the paint to dry (see tin of paint for exact time
– usually around 2 hours),
Step 5 : Repeat step 3 and 4,
Step 6: Remove wool from jar,
Step 7: Place candle in the jar,
Step 8: Light candle.
And….voila – your simple tea
light candle is turned into a centre piece!
Along with a heater in a stormy
night, your candle holder will create the perfect flicker and mood.
This is a very basic version of a
Wool wrapped Candle Holder; should
you be creative there are so many different
ways of spicing up your jar.
- · When the paint is still wet – you can roll the jar into a bowl of glitter or sand to add a different texture and dimension to your jar and is great for getting the kids involved as a weekend project.
- · Rather than use only one colour – you can use a few colours to paint the jar, white, silver and gold complement each other and are very ‘in’ colours.
- · You could leave the wool on the jar to create an additional 3 dimensional element.
