If you’re ready to create something lovely that’ll set the mood for relaxation and comfort, keep reading. We’re about to turn ordinary glass candle holders into delightful, yarn-wrapped wonders. Let’s get started!

What You’ll Need:

• Glass Candle Holders: You can use any size or shape that suits your taste.
• Yarn: This is the fun part! Pick colors that complement your decor or go wild with a mix of hues.
• Craft Glue or Mod Podge: Something to adhere the yarn to the glass.
• Paintbrush: For applying the glue.
• Scissors: For trimming the yarn.
• Tea Light Candles: To complete the cozy ambiance.

How to Make It Overview:

• Grab some glass candle holders (votive or pillar).
• Start at the top, secure the yarn, and wrap it around the candle holder, changing colors or patterns as you go.
• Secure the end when you reach the bottom, and voilà!

Lets Get Started

Step 1: Prep Your Work Area

Set up a clean, well-lit workspace. Lay out all your materials within easy reach. This will make the crafting process smoother.

Step 2: Start Wrapping

Begin by applying a small amount of craft glue or Mod Podge to the bottom of your glass candle holder. You only need a little to get started.

Take one end of your yarn and press it onto the glue. Hold it in place for a few seconds until it adheres.

Step 3: Wrap It Up

Once your yarn is secured at the bottom, start wrapping it around the glass. Make sure to keep the yarn snug but not too tight. This will give your candle holder a cozy, textured look.

Feel free to switch colors or add new yarn scraps as you go. Simply apply a small dab of glue, press the new yarn in place, and continue wrapping.

Step 4: Continue Wrapping

Keep wrapping until you reach your desired height or until you’re happy with how it looks. Leave a small space at the top and bottom of the glass uncovered for a clean finish.

Step 5: Secure the End

When you’re ready to finish, apply a bit more glue to the end of the yarn and press it onto the glass. Hold it for a few seconds to make sure it’s secure.

Step 6: Trim and Let It Dry

Trim any excess yarn from the top and bottom of the candle holder.

Set it aside to dry completely. This might take a few hours, so be patient.

Step 7: Add a Candle

Once your cozy yarn-wrapped candle holder is dry, simply pop in a tea light or votive candle, light it up, and bask in the warm and inviting atmosphere you’ve created.

Pro Tips:

• Experiment with different yarn textures and colors to match your decor or create a seasonal vibe.
• Consider using flameless LED candles for a safer, longer-lasting option.
• These make great gifts, so consider making a few extras to share with friends and family.

With just a few simple materials and a dash of creativity, you’ve transformed plain glass candle holders into charming, cozy decor pieces that add a touch of warmth to any room. The best part? This project is not only fun but also sustainable, giving new life to those beautiful yarn scraps (if you have plenty left over).
