There is nothing I love more than decorative lighting and candles! They help create a cozy, relaxing environment in any room and some candles are aromatic as well. I especially enjoy the pumpkin and apple pie scented candles. Once the candles burn down, you are left with the glass and some left over wax. Sadly, these items often get discarded, but each of these can be restyled into decorative tea light holders using a bit of Mod Podge and fabric scraps.
First, I used a butter knife to carefully chip away at the leftover wax. Once the wax was removed I used a damp paper towel to clean the inside. I applied Mod Podge to the outside of the candle holder with a paint brush. I cut a small piece of scrap fabric measured to fit the outside of the candle. I wrapped the fabric around the outside of the glass and applied Mod Podge over top of the fabric to seal it. These are simple to make and are a great way to recycle used candles and fabric scraps.
very cute!
