5 Creative DIY Candle Holders

Create your own candle holders using a few budget-friendly supplies.

Here are a few ideas to get you started!

1. Turn Shot Glasses Into Tapered Candle Holders

I saw an amazing set of gold leaf candle holders at a home decor store I thought would be perfect as a centerpiece! Well until I nearly choked at the $40 price tag. I promptly went home and made my own knock-off in the same design out of $1/ea shot glasses! Much better price tag right?

Learn how to make these DIY candle holders out of shot glasses for less!

2. Zhush Up Some Glass Cups

Glass cups and thrifted hurricane style glasses can be used as candle holders. Use some gold sharpies to draw on simple designs!

3. Use Mason Jars To Hold Candles

Place sprigs of greenery, glitter, beads, and other decorative crafty items in the bottom of mason jars and fill with water. Place small round candles or tea lights floating inside.

4. Turn Salt Shakers Into Candle Holders

Salt shakers are usually a perfect size to fit tapered candlesticks. Spray paint them to the color of your choice, or use a glitter spray paint.

5. Candle Light Trays

While these aren’t round holders, these DIY candle trays are perfect to keep wax from dripping all over your table, and make a cute centerpiece.
