Materials Required

 

- Glass candleholder (found at Dollar Tree)

- Plate (found at Dollar Tree)

- LED candle (available at Michaels)

- Shimmer lights (available at Michaels)

- Greenery (purchased at Walmart)

 

**Total Cost: $15**

 

- Hot glue

- Wire cutters or scissors



Start by taking your candleholder and plate. Flip the plate so that the bottom side is facing up. 

 Next, apply hot glue around the top section of the candleholder. Once you've done this, turn the candleholder so that the glued side is facing down. Press the candleholder onto the plate, applying a little pressure to ensure it sticks. Set it aside and allow it to dry.

 

After that, take your wire cutters and cut the greenery from the main stem. You will be adding each piece to the outer edge of the plate. (You can place your LED candle in the center to help determine where to add the leaves around the plate.) I left some of the stems on each leaf, but you can either cut the stems off completely or leave them as is.




If you want to hide the stems, you can use leaves from any faux plant and add them to your arrangement. I had some extra eucalyptus leaves from a previous craft project, so I placed them over the stems. This step is optional, but it can help conceal the stems.

 

Once you have added the leaves to your plate, you can start incorporating your lights. Simply loop the lights around and under the leaves. That's it! Your DIY project is complete.

 

If you have any craft beads, you can string them onto some stretch cord or twine. I had some stretch cord and beads left from a prior project, so I added those around my candle.

 

You're all done! I hope you enjoyed this simple project. It has become a beautiful addition to my kitchen, and I love how it turned out. Are you planning to make your own? Let me know in the comments below.

Easy Steps to Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home

Hello everyone! I’m excited that you decided to visit the blog today. I wanted to share how to create a cozy autumn tablescape at home. My goal was to design something warm and inviting, as our table is a space where we share conversations, drink coffee, tackle homework, and simply enjoy each other’s company.  I typically don’t go all out when decorating my dining table, but I wanted to show you how I styled it using decor pieces I already had. I would love for you to join me in this decorating adventure! Watch the video tutorial Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home Items I'm adding to my table:  -White tablecloth runner - Battery-operated leaf lights  - Reusing glass jars  - Mini pumpkins and other fall decorations  - Small "Hello Fall" sign  - Faux flowers I began by spreading my white tablecloth down the center of the table.

How I Refreshed an Old Garden Statue with Paint (Easy Patio DIY)

This charming toad perched on his toadstool has been a beloved part of our patio for years, enduring the passage of time while gradually succumbing to the effects of sun and weather. With each season, he has faded a little more, losing some of his vibrant colors and details. Rather than allowing him to blend into the background and become just another forgotten decoration, I decided it was time to breathe new life into him.  Watch the Video Tutorial I shared the whole process in a quick YouTube Shorts video called “Watch Me Refresh This Old Garden Statue.” It’s a simple before‑and‑after, but such a satisfying one.  Materials I Used Garden statue (mine is a toad on a toadstool) Sandpaper Acrylic paints Small detail brushes Mod Podge (for sealing and protection) Sanding and Painting I began by gently sanding the statue to smooth out the chipped and faded paint. It only takes a few minutes, but it makes such a difference. Once the surface felt ready, I brought out my a...

How to Make Easy Beaded Wine Glass Charms

 I love creating small, simple crafts that add a personal touch to gatherings, and these wine glass charms were such a fun project. They’re easy to make, customizable, and perfect for parties, holidays, or even a cozy night in with friends. Each charm slips right onto the stem of a wine glass, making it easy for everyone to keep track of their drink. These charms come together quickly using beads, wire rings, and small metal pendants. You can mix and match colors and charms to fit any theme, and each one turns out a little different — which is part of the fun. Watch the video tutorial Materials Here’s what I used to make my wine glass charms: Wire rings Beads Small metal charms Jewelry pliers If your wire rings need trimming, use wire cutters—mine didn’t, so I didn’t need them for this project.  Choose your beads and charms Pick out the colors and shapes you want to use. I chose soft pinks, purples, and clear beads, along with heart, spiral, and flower charms. Each charm desig...
