Candle Holders
Your home's décor can be enhanced by the use of beautiful, yet
functional candle holders placed around the house. Even an
outside garden looks pretty with sturdy candle holders. Paired
with a scented candle, candle holders make the perfect gift for
the hard to buy for. Children can even make candle holders that
are perfect for gift giving. In addition, candle holders come in
all shapes and sizes and can fit virtually anyone's personal
taste.
There are numerous types of candle holders available to beautify
your home. There are companies that cater especially for those
who want to purchase candle holders. To quickly and easily
decorate a blank wall, look at some of the scrolled ironwork
candle holders. Handcrafted wrought iron candle holders make a
stylish addition to a table or a centerpiece. These types of
candle holders can be bought to hold one or several candles. Try
placing long tapered candles in candle holders to decorate a
mantel.
Candle holders also make great gifts. Just about anyone can
appreciate a pretty candle holder with a nice scented candle.
Candle holders are certainly a one size fits all gift. In
addition, candle holders can be bought in a wide variety of
sizes and in just about any material. Small glass candle holders
are good for individual candles. Try making a gift basket filled
with several small candle holders and small candles. Find a
different candle scent for every month of the year.
Kids can enjoy making a variety of candle holders for gifts,
too. These easy-to-make crafts make a perfect rainy day
activity. Try helping your child make these candle holders one
day. Give these homemade gifts to teachers or grandparents for a
truly personalized gift.
Here are some easy to make candle holders that children can
enjoy with a little help.
Supplies needed:
Small tea candle Empty baby food jar Colored tissue Glue and
paintbrush
Make a candle holder just the right size for a tea light candle
out of a recycled baby food jar. Remove the label from the baby
food jar and clean thoroughly. Give your child scraps of
brightly colored tissue paper and glue mixed with a little
water. Have your child brush the glue on the baby food jar and
glue the tissue in pace. When the jar is completely covered with
tissue paper, go over the jar again with another layer of glue.
Add a tea light candle and you have just created a perfect
candle holder gift.
Here is another idea for making a unique candle holder out of
soup or vegetable cans.
Supplies needed:
Empty soup can Hammer and nail
Remove the label off of the can and clean well. If the label on
the can is difficult to remove, you can soak the can in warm
soapy water and continue to remove the label. After the can is
clean, fill it to the top with water and place in the freezer.
When the water is frozen, use a hammer and a nail to pound holes
into the can. The ice inside the can will help it hold its
shape. Be creative with the design. Let the ice melt and place a
small candle or tea light candle inside. These candle holders
look pretty outside around the holiday season.
