Decoupage Candle Holders

I know I have a weakness for things that are orange. (Is this candle holder orange or red???  I’m also a sucker for all things red.)

Imagine my delight when I saw this lovely candle on the Craft Stylish website!  They also had a plaid candle holder, a snowflake one, one with stars, and one with holly and berries.  So enchanting!

They have great directions and pictures of the whole process.  (I’ve almost deluded myself into thinking I could make one of these — and actually have it turn out.)  Wouldn’t this be great fun to make with your granddaughters?

I can envision it all now.  Christmas music playing softly in the background.  Outside, snow gently falling.  Inside, a fire crackling in the fireplace.  Cinnamon potpourri filling the air.  Christmas goodies patiently waiting to be consumed.   Grandma and granddaughters giggling and talking as they make the candle holders.  The candle holders turn out beautifully.  (Sigh. Only in my dreams, I realize!)

Maybe my granddaughter could help me when my craft-less fingers make myriad boo-boos.  Whaddya say, Natalie?  Even though you are only three months old, I think you’d do a better job than me . . .

You might want to take a trip to the Dollar Store to get various sizes and shapes for your candle holders.  Tall ones, square ones, short ones, fat ones.  I can envision a plethora artfully placed around my home adding holiday ambiance.  I’m going to make some.  I really am.  Really.  At least I think I will . . .

Anyway, these candle holders are great gift ideas for you and your granddaughters to make and give to friends and family.

    Those are way cute! I think that Natalie would only try to put everything in her mouth if she were to help. And silly Grandma…Natalie is now 4 months old as of December 1st!
