Does your home feel bare now that the holidays are over? Many of us are sad that the Christmas decorations are down and put away. Why wait for the next holiday to spruce up those special areas when you can just decorate for winter. One way to embrace this chilly season is by adding a warm glow to your winter decor by making dimensional snowy flameless tealight candleholders.
Here's how: 1. Remove a small end portion from a Styrofoam ball to allow the ball to sit flat.
2. Trace the base of a glass votive or flameless tealight on the center top.
3. Use a knife & spoon to remove outlined area.
4. Insert glass votive or tealight for fit.
5. Using a plastic knife, coat Styrofoam with Aleene's True Snow or Snow-Tex and allow to dry.
6. Add additional faux snow paste to top middle area, add glitter (optional) and allow to dry overnight. 7. Insert glass votive, tealight and admire your creation!
These winter snowy flameless tealight candleholders look good on their own but would look beautiful within a winterscape or winter wonderland theme.

I will definitely be doing this project, thank-you for posting it! I usually keep a 'snow family' on the mantle through Christmas but always felt something was missing - now I know what was missing:)

I'm in Australia, is the 'true snow' a paint? Would like to find an alternative product here to do the project plz.
Can I use a real candle to burn?
