DIY floral candle holder design

Hello! I hope you're doing well. Today, I want to show you how to make a beautiful DIY floral candle holder that will add a touch of spring to your home decor. It's an easy project that you can do with materials you probably already have. The only things you'll need to purchase are a glass candle holder and a round galvanized metal cap, both of which you can find at Dollar Tree. I created a succulent centerpiece a while ago and loved how it turned out, so I'm excited to share this new project with you. Let's get started!

video tutorial


Materials needed

One glass candle holder-purchased at Dollar Tree

One round galvanized metal cap-purchased at Dollar Tree

Chalk paint- Any color of your choice. I'm using white and celery

Faux floral-purchased at Dollar Tree

Hot glue or E6000 adhesive

Floral snips

Optional-bumblebee buttons- I purchased mine at Joann's

Step 1: Applying acrylic paint to the galvanized cap

Start by taking your galvanized metal cap, and removing the twine rope. Using your paintbrush apply your first layer of chalk paint to it. I used my heat gun to dry it between each coat of paint. I applied around two coats of paint. 

Step 2: Adding acrylic paint to the candleholder

Next, take your glass candle holder, and apply chalk paint to it. I also used my heat gun to help with drying.  I applied around three coats of paint. 

Step 3: Attaching the candleholder to the galvanized cap


After you have applied your paint to both the metal cap, and glass candle holder, take your adhesive and apply some on the top surface of your candle holder. I did notice when I used hot glue, it eventually came apart. To prevent this from happening I suggest using a heavy-duty adhesive like E6000, or gorilla glue. 

Step 4: Cutting and attaching the flowers

Next, take your floral snips, and begin to cut your flowers to size. I cut the stems off and left the flowers. Also, be sure to cut any of the greenery, and leaves off to use. 

Begin to glue your floral around the top inner section of your metal cap. Add your flowers and leaves.

Step 5: Adding butterfly stickers and embellishments


 

After adding on your floral, take your butterflies, and add them to your flowers. You can add your bumblebee buttons as well. Remember that it is completely optional.


The last step is to take either a battery-powered candle, or a candle jar, and add it to your design. I love how this turned out, and I love that it was so simple to create. 

I hope that you enjoyed this simple DIY. Be sure to let me know if you decide to create your very own. I'll see you soon!

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. Around Halloween, I purchased this tablecloth a few years ago at my local Walmart. After laying it out, I realized that I could ...

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...

Three Easy Candle Jar Ideas for Cozy Porch Décor

I've always thought there was something so comforting about soft candlelight, especially when it’s paired with a few simple faux florals and greenery. Today, I’m sharing a sweet little project in which I decorated a glass jar in three different ways. Each jar has its own personality, glow, and gentle charm. These pieces are perfect for porch décor, but they work beautifully anywhere you want to add a touch of warmth. I love projects like this—simple materials, quiet moments, and a finished piece that feels peaceful and handmade. Watch the Video Tutorial Materials I Used Clear glass jar Battery‑operated candle Faux string of pearls Faux succulents Faux vine Bright pink faux flowers (tops removed from stems) Yellow faux flowers Faux foliage Optional: woven mat or tray for display Jar 1: Succulents & String of Pearls For the first jar, I wanted something earthy and calming. I placed a faux string of pearls inside the jar and let it settle naturally. Around it, I tucked in a few fa...

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...
