This project went fast....about 20min. And the best part is you can get your supplies at the dollar store for $4.00 including votive candles. I wanted to do a project with some items I could pick up at a dollar store. A craft that ‘anyone’ can do. I grabbed a small round glass vase, candle holder, and glass gems:
I use the Gorilla Clear Outdoor Glue if I’m going to keep outside. You can use hot glue, if you are keeping inside the house. But..it will melt off in the sun/heat.
I started by gluing the glass gems all around the bottom of the vase.. I put a dab of the glue on a gem, then let it sit a couple of minutes. I did this to a few.

See how pretty it is looking! I added crushed shell I had purchased from Walmart. You could also use sand. The crushed shell and sand is good if real candles are used.
I then put some glue on the candle holder. I then placed the round vase I decorated on top of the holder:
I put a small led candle inside….It really looks pretty! (note: the candle holder is upside down on purpose. It looked better with the vase)
See how easy that was!!! You can do!!! Check out all my diy and craft projects at kelleysdiy.com

I really love your projects. I make soy candles for online sales & would like to know if it would be ok with you to use some of your ideas to include in my store? Thanks

Great project. I made the same DIY and put a piece of ribbon at the top and it came out beautifully. I too used crushed shells and added flowers. The finished product is awesome.
