DIY Floral Candle Holder Design

 I hope that you are doing well. Today I'm showing you how to create a floral candle holder. A while back I created a succulent centerpiece, and I just loved how it turned out. Most of my materials I already had on hand, and the only two items I had to purchase were the glass candle holder, and the round galvanized metal cap from Dollar Tree. 

One glass candle holder-purchased at Dollar Tree

One round galvanized metal cap-purchased at Dollar Tree

Chalk paint- Any color of your choice. I'm using white and celery

Faux floral-purchased at Dollar Tree

Hot glue or E6000 adhesive

Floral snips

Optional-bumblebee buttons- I purchased mine at Joann's

Start by taking your galvanized metal cap, and removing the twine rope. Using your paintbrush apply your first layer of chalk paint to it. I used my heat gun to dry it between each coat of paint. I applied around two coats of paint. 

Next, take your glass candle holder, and apply chalk paint to it. I also used my heat gun to help with drying. I applied around three coats of paint. 

After you have applied your paint to both the metal cap, and glass candle holder, take your adhesive, and apply some on the top surface of your candle holder. I did notice when I used hot glue, it eventually came apart. To prevent this from happening I suggest using a heavy-duty adhesive like E6000, or gorilla glue. 

Next, take your floral snips, and begin to cut your flowers to size. I cut the stems off and left the flowers. Also, be sure to cut any of the greenery, and leaves off to use. 

Begin to glue your floral around the top inner section of your metal cap. Add your flowers and leaves.

After adding on your floral, take your butterflies, and add them to your flowers. You can add your bumblebee buttons as well. Remember that it is completely optional.

The last step is to take either a battery-powered candle, or a candle jar, and add it to your design. I absolutely love how this turned out, and I love that it was so simple to create. 

I hope that you enjoyed this simple DIY. Be sure to let me know if you decide to create your very own. I'll see you soon!
