Making a Beautiful Christmas Candle Holder

Christmas is just around the corner and what better way to get into the holiday spirit than by making your own festive decorations? In this article, we will show you how to create a beautiful Christmas candle holder that will add warmth and charm to your home during the holiday season.

Supplies Needed

To make this candle holder, you will need the following supplies:

  • Glass jar
  • Craft glue
  • White tissue paper
  • Paintbrush
  • Scissors
  • Decorative ribbon or twine
  • Small pine cones
  • Artificial berries
  • Small decorative ornaments
  • Tealight candles

Step 1: Prepare the Glass Jar

Start by thoroughly cleaning the glass jar with soap and water. Dry it completely with a towel so that there are no water spots or streaks. Then, using a paintbrush, apply a thin layer of craft glue all over the outside of the jar.

Step 2: Apply Tissue Paper

Tear small pieces of white tissue paper and stick them onto the jar. Make sure to overlap the pieces slightly to create a seamless look. Continue until the entire jar is covered in tissue paper.

Step 3: Add Decorations

Using craft glue, attach small pine cones, artificial berries, and small decorative ornaments onto the jar. Arrange them in a way that looks pleasing to the eye. Let the glue dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Step 4: Tie Ribbon or Twine

Wrap a decorative ribbon or twine around the top of the jar and tie it into a bow. This will add a finishing touch to your candle holder.

Step 5: Insert Tealight Candles

Finally, place a few tealight candles inside the jar. The light from the candles will gently illuminate the tissue paper and create a warm glow that is perfect for the holiday season.
