Make a Trendy Plaid Candle Holder Using Items From the Dollar Store
It's amazing what you can create using dollar store items like a plaid scarf, a cylinder glass container and Mod Podge! Check this out!
Begin by placing a glass container on top of a plaid scarf and wrap the fabric around, measuring the amount needed to cover. Have the fabric even with the glass bottom and leave about an inch at the top, and enough to overlap at the back and then, cut out.
To make the fabric easier to cut with straight edges, apply Mod Podge to one side and let dry.
Next, cut out a star image in cardboard and arrange how you want it to appear on the glass. Add glue dots on the back of the cardboard and press down onto the fabric to keep the star from moving.
Using an xacto or craft knife, cut out star on the fabric.
Wrap cut-out fabric around glass for placement. Add E6000 glue on inside star edges about 1/8th inch away from border and also add glue lines from the top and bottom of star tips. Secure fabric on glass holder, gently wrapping fabric around - but not gluing it on completely, just yet. Hold in place with painter's tape and let dry.
Once the glue has dried, add glue to back edge, overlapping and seal. Let dry.
Next, add glue to the inside top edges of the fabric and turn over at glass edge, smoothing out.
Now stand back and admire your lovely, easy to make plaid candle holder!
Add an LED battery operated candle for a fabulous effect!
Picture perfect and oh so, trendy!
