Simple DIY Glass Candle Holder Design

 Hi everyone!  Today we will create a simple do-it-yourself craft. This craft was under five dollars and takes very few materials. I only had to pick up two of the main materials, the glass jar, and the wall creation leaf design. If you're ready I will provide you with a material list, and step, by step instructions. 


Video tutorial




Materials 

One glass jar-Purchased at Dollar Tree

One wall creation decal sticker design-Purchased at Dollar Tree

Frosted glass spray

Gold wire

One Wire cutter

Optional- craft gems with sticky backing

First, take your two glass jars, and give them a quick wash. This will help to remove any residue that may be left from the purchase sticker after removing it. Be sure to take a cloth, and completely dry your glass jars. 

Once you have allowed your jars to completely dry, lay out a section of cardboard, and take your frosted glass paint, and apply it onto your glass jars. When you spray your jars, be sure to move to a well-ventilated area.  

Once you have sprayed your jars, allow the frosted glass spray to sit between coats. I applied two coats of spray and allowed it to sit 10 minutes between each. 

Next, take your leaf decal, and apply it to a section of your glass jars. If you find that the leaves are too long, take scissors, and cut sections off. This will help with the placement of your leaf design.



Next, using your wire cutter, begin to cut a medium-length section of wire. You will need two strands. Take one strand and begin to wrap it around the bottom section of your glass jar. Once you have wrapped it around the bottom section, begin to twist the two ends of the wire. This will create a swirl design.

Repeat this step with your second strand on the top section of your glass jar.

This last step is completely optional, but if you have graft gems, be sure to add those. I had a few craft gems that have a sticky backing to them. 


Your glass candle holder design is complete. All that is left is to add a battery-operated candle to the inside of your glass jar. 

I love how simple this DIY project was, it was affordable, and it looks beautiful. Be sure to let me know if you decide to create your very own. 
Thank you so much for crafting with me!

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 Styled 6 Fall Trays Using Simple Reused Decor

  This fall, I wanted to challenge myself to decorate with just a few simple items—things most of us already have tucked away in our craft bins. With one round tray, a Dollar Tree lantern, a battery‑operated LED candle, a handful of faux florals, and a mix of Dollar Tree pumpkins, I created six different autumn looks. Each one feels cozy, seasonal, and unique, all without buying a bunch of new décor. My goal was to show how versatile your everyday pieces can be. By swapping out colors, textures, and small accents, you can build fresh designs that fit your style and your space. Watch the video tutorial Decorating Each Tray My First Tray: Classic Lantern & Autumn Florals For my first tray, I began by placing a round tray on a woven placemat to create a cozy base. Next, I placed the black lantern in the center and added a small LED candle inside. I figured this would provide a soft autumn glow that I love. I took yellow faux florals and arranged them around the lantern to brighten...

Hello, blogging friends! Today, I’m excited to share an easy makeover I did using a “HOME” sign from Dollar Tree. This project is simple, but the transformation feels soft, warm, and inviting—just the kind of piece that quietly brightens a space. The sign began as plain and flat, but after a few gentle coats of paint, it became something charming and full of personality. Watch the Video Tutorial Video tutorial  Materials Dollar Tree metal HOME sign (Crafter’s Square) Black FolkArt Matte Acrylic Paint Light green Craft Smart Matte Acrylic Paint Coral Craft Smart Matte Acrylic Paint Light pink paint Dark green Paintbrushes (flat and detail brushes) I started by applying a black base coat to the entire sign.
