DIY glass candle holders: 5 ideas for your home

Turning glass jars for candles into DIY candle holders is a creative and relaxing way of making unique and personalized home decorations. With enveloping fragrances and the warmth of candlelight, glass candle holders are a versatile and original decoration that makes your rooms more welcoming and elegant.

With a bit of imagination, simple glasses can become mini masterpieces such as candle holders, centerpieces with candles, and decorations for special occasions suitable for both romantic evenings and more informal events, including the holiday season. With the right materials, even an object such as a glass can become an impressive decoration. Let's take a look together some easy-to-create ideas.

Glass jars for scented candles are not only functional, but also aesthetically pleasing: in addition to its elegant appearance, glass is a heat-resistant material that is excellent for holding molten wax; in addition, the transparency of the glass can be used to show off the color of the wax and any decorative elements.

To make your own candles, just follow these simple steps:

1.           Pour the melted wax into the glass jar;
2.        Add natural essential oils derived from aromatic plants, flowers and fruits;
3.          You can even add dyes for a more vibrant result.

Select fragrances that most reflect your personality or reflect the different seasons such as fresh and floral notes in spring, warm and spicy in winter; simply place these glasses in various rooms of the house, such as in the living room for a relaxing evening or in the bathroom to create that spa feeling.

To enjoy your favorite fragrances throughout, you can create your own custom home fragrances for continuous and natural diffusion in every room: with our home fragrance bottles, ideal for holding room fragrances and essential oils, and to which you can combine home fragrance accessories including reeds, caps, and stoppers.

You can use centerpiece candle holders to decorate your table for your special dinners:

1)      Choose holders of different heights, in clear or colored glass;

2)      Add colored candles to match your table design;

3)      Decorate the glass jars with fresh flowers, eucalyptus or pebbles for a natural touch;

4)      For a more sophisticated look, you can also use ribbons, pearls, decorative crystals or small LED lights as part of the arrangement.

Glass jars thus become centerpiece candle holders that are the star table decoration for an elegant and sophisticated setting.

For the holiday season, DIY Christmas candle holders can transform the home into a magical place:

1)      Place a red or gold candle in the center of the glass jar;

2)      Fill in the sides with natural elements such as twigs of pine, red berries or small pine cones;

3)      Add details such as glitter, artificial snow or small Christmas ornaments around the glass jars.

The end result will be an impressive and festive looking fireplace decoration or centerpiece, perfect for Christmas.

If you are looking for an atmospheric arrangement, centerpieces with floating candles are an original and striking idea:

1)      Use the glass jars as a base, filling them with water;

2)      Add small floating candles, white or colored;

3)      For an extra touch, add fresh flowers, petals or decorative beads.

In recent years, one of the biggest trends has been candle holders with natural materials, whose combination of natural elements and glass creates a visually striking decorative object for living rooms or bedrooms:

1)      Cover the outside of the glass jar with wooden twigs, bark or twine;

2)      Place a neutral colored candle inside;

3)      You can add sand or small pebbles around the candle, or create a stone base for the glass jar.

Candle holders with natural materials are perfect for fans of rustic or Nordic style and like to include natural materials as part of their decor. Clear glass jars are also the ideal minimalist decorative element for fall or spring designs, depending on the elements chosen.
