Yarn Wrapped Candle Holder

Spring has finally decided to arrive here in Northern Illinois! What a great weekend to play outside! I'm sharing an idea I had when Carson and I were messing around with yarn. Remember these DIY Dollar Store Candle Hurricanes? 

I created a smaller version of the Dollar Store Candle Holders, but this time, I wrapped it with yarn. It gives it a fun dimension and I absolutely love how it turned out! Check it out! It took me less than 5 minutes to put together (not counting drying time, of course!).

Yarn Wrapped Candle Holders


You'll need:

Candle stick (Dollar Store)
Candle Tumbler (Dollar Store)
Yarn 
E-6000
Hot Glue Gun

Directions

Clean and dry tumbler and candle stick. Glue candle stick to the bottom of the tumbler. Be certain to center it. Take your yarn and wrap it around the tumbler until it has the look you desire. Cut and apply a small amount of hot glue to secure the yarn. Fill with sand or other filler and place candle inside.

 

So, for $2 and some change, I've created a unique and fun "Spring" inspired candle holder. Whatcha think?

$3 Fall Yarn Wreath

For those of you that follow me on Facebook, you saw this wreath before. I was trying to decide if I needed to add more to it. 

And, I took your advice. Here is the end result:

Here is what it took to make this cute little wreath:
1 foam wreath form--Target Dollar Section
1 Sunflower Stem--Target Dollar Section
1 Fall Berry Spray--Target Dollar Section
Coordinating Yarn--already had in my craft closet (if it wasn't in my craft closet, it would probably be a $6 wreath, because yarn runs about $2-3 at Michael's or JoAnn's)

Now, it took maybe a half hour to put this altogether. Start by hot gluing the end piece of the yarn to the wreath form. Start wrapping the yarn around the wreath, scrunching it up as you go. When it is completely covered, tie a knot and hot glue it. Add the flower and spray with hot glue and that's it! Super simple, super cute and perfect on my mantle mirror for the fall season!

Thanks for stopping by!
