As you can see, they’re perfectly suited to a wide variety of settings and look genuinely impressive. Any place around the home you’d normally place a candle could make the perfect home for one of these doily candle holders – simple, elegant and understated.
Decorative Doily Candle Holders
We told you there wasn’t much to it when it comes to making these things and we weren’t kidding either! All you’ll need to make as many of these decorative accents as you like is:
- Some Old Crochet Doilies
- Balloons
- Wallpaper Paste
Actually putting them together is as easy as soaking the doilies in the glue, wrapping them around the balloon (see picture for example) and then hanging them until dry…usually overnight. All you need to do then is pop the balloons and there you have it – your very own handmade tealight holders!
Note: It’s important to be careful when using any doilies made from material that may catch fire in the event that the candle’s flame makes contact with the sides of the holder. Never leave a candle burning unattended and perhaps consider using flameless LED candles if at all concerned.
