Dollar Tree Candle Holder

Simple and cheap - a great way to add to your candle holder collection. Use any size clear candlestick you have on hand, or again pick up very cheaply and glue a pillar holder, vase, or ivy bowl to the top.
Match up what you want to use together being careful to not use a larger, heavy vase on a tall skinny candlestick, as it might be a bit top heavy and turn over easily. Make sure they are very clean. I like to run mine through the dishwasher. Using an adhesive designed for glass, such as E6000, place a small amount around the upper edge of your candlestick. Be careful to not overdue it or it will ooze out and down the sides. Now center the base of your vase over the glued area and press gently.
I will then place a lightweight book (or I have used a box of pasta) on top of the base to hold it in place. Don't attempt to move it for at least 24 hours to allow plenty of time for it to dry.
When you need to wash it, I do not immerse it in water. Just use your dampened dishcloth to wipe clean, then rinse and dry gently.
