Fashion A Stylish Candle Holder With Two Dollar Tree Essentials

Any time a trip to Dollar Tree can result in a stunning home décor creation, we are all ears (and eyes!) Using Dollar Tree finds, you can do everything from crafting holiday decorations to illuminating your space by transforming shelves into a floating wall light. There's nothing we love more than a DIY hack that is simple, ingenious, and frugal, and this lovely glass candle holder checks all the boxes.

All you need for this simple candle holder are two dessert shot glasses and one glass prep bowl, available at Dollar Tree. The best part is once assembled, either end can be used to hold a candle. The end with the dessert shot glass can hold a taper candle while the prep bowl can hold votives. Make a matching set for a uniform tablescape or turn one upside down to hold different candles and add interest to your look. The glass provides a beautiful blank slate to add simple embellishments or apply intricate glass decorating techniques to create a stylish candle holder.

First, grab a set or two of the Cooking Concepts Dessert Shot Glasses and the Glass Prep Bowls from Dollar Tree. While you're there, keep an eye out for any decorative elements you might want to add to your candle holders, such as jute, ribbon, or small faux florals like the tutorial shows. Then, all you need to do is hot glue the glasses together and decorate. Easy!

There are so many ways to personalize this DIY candle holder. Instagrammer @peri_azizov glued the dessert shot glasses together, end-to-end, and then glued the prep bowl on top. After that, they wrapped the points of connection between the glasses in decorative ribbon and added a small floral sprig to complete the look. Since these glasses come in packs of three or four, experiment with different configurations for a collection of DIY candle holders you can decorate to make a one-of-a-kind set. 

This is a great project if you are into glass-decorating methods like etching, decoupage, or gilding. You can also give the glass jars a tinted makeover using Modge Podge and food coloring, or use a cornstarch paint hack to create a beautiful texture. Just make sure to prep your glass before decorating by using rubbing alcohol or white vinegar to remove any traces of dirt, grime, or dust and ensure your embellishment, especially paint, stays put.
