Cinnamon Stick Candle Holder

1 clear glass votive candle holder
about 20 cinnamon sticks
transparent tape
scissors
hot glue gun, glue sticks
 
Measure the height of your holder, and add 1/2 inch. This is the length you will need to cut your cinnamon sticks. Cover the holder completely with tape. Hot glue does not adhere well to glass, so this will give you a good surface to glue to. Glue each stick
vertically to the holder, making sure they are placed evenly, until  the entire surface is covered. Use like this, or decorate with raffia, or other small holiday decorations.

 

 

Dress up your candles for Yule!
 
You can do this with existing candles...it's quick, easy, and can be  free!

 

Tie on some greens with raffia or ribbon, glue on some pinecones in a star pattern. Use brass tacks from the dollar store  to press into the candles in patterns.

 

You could even glue on coffee beans or kitchen beans to add texture and color and pattern. (Use a  glue gun!) Group candles on a mirror top reflect the dancing light.

Don't have a mirror? Use an empty picture frame, cover the cardboard insert with foil, then place back in the frame, group candles on the  frame and enjoy the sparkle!

 

Note: Always use care when using candles, never leave them unattended, and be careful whatever you
craft your candles with cannot be reached by flame.
