Tips to Make a Candle holder Dollar Store DIY
- Don’t overthink this. If your dollar store doesn’t have exactly what I’ve shown here, get creative. Don’t go driving around like crazy to hit the next dollar store in town. Just grab the next best thing on the shelf–it might be even better than what I had access to!
- Oh, you don’t care for the little red holly bits that I used? That’s ok. Again, don’t overthink this–the dollar store has about a million different baubles and bits to add to your farmhouse candle holders (all of which are a dollar, so you could even grab a couple to try out).
- I feel like I use a lot of hot glue around here. But this calls for something a little sturdier because the two pieces of glass and heat from the candle. I mean, just a lot of reasons. So, for this craft, I chose to use E6000 craft glue. It’s tough, heat resistant and perfect for putting together two pieces of glass.
