DIY Glitter Candles - Easy Christmas Decoration

Start with the contact paper or vinyl depending on which one you will use.

Roughly decide how much of the candles would be glittered and how much would not.

Based on those calculations, draw with a pen a wavy line all along the contact paper edge.

Cut the wave line with a scissor making sure you get a straight side and a wavy side.

Measured how much of the contact paper strip is needed to go around the candles.

Cut it and apply the straight side to the top edge of the candle.

Spread mod podge all over the un covered candle.

Sprinkle abundant glitter all over it. Use a piece of paper or a tray underneath it so you don’t spread glitter all over the place.

Let the glitter sit for a few minutes.

Remove the excess glitter by tapping the candle gently against the table on a piece of paper.

Remove the contact paper stencil and let it dry for at least 2 hours.

Repeat the same process with the other two candles and change the glitter color if desired.

Now to make the centerpiece, make 3 circles with the cardboard a little bit bigger than the candle’s diameter, like ½ inch larger.

When the candles are dry, draw a circle around the candle on the cardboard.

Apply hot glue along the inner side of the drawn circle and quickly glue the candle.

Set aside.

Now let’s work with the greenery garland.

Cut a strip of greenery garland, long enough to make two loops on each candle.

Then cut small strips of pipe cleaner wires like in the pic below and insert them through the ornament’s cap hole.

Tie each ornament to the greenery garland. I made it one red, one gold, one red, one gold an so on.

With hot glue, stick the garland to the cardboard around the candle.

Repeat with the other two candles.

Now the final touch…

Make 3 cute ribbon bows and glue them to the garland.

Tadaaaaaa!!!!! You got some really cute DIY Glitter Candles centerpiece to decorate your mantel or dining table.
