Glitter Candle Holders
Supplies:
- Clear votives
- Epsom salt
- Gold glitter
- Mod Podge Matte
- Paintbrush
- Newspaper or any covering
Step 1. Wash and dry your votives. You want them clean and spotless.
Step 2. Mix your epsom salt and gold glitter in a bowl in a 1:2 ratio. Alternatively, you can use german glass glitter, or different sized glitters.
For me, I had epsom salt and the gold glitter on hand so I went with that. I used epsom salt combined with fine glitter to give the votives some texture – which I love!
Step 3. Brush on your Mod Podge in strokes – I wanted it to be imperfect so I just brushed from about halfway from the bottom to the top rim of the glass, varying the heights as I went.
Step 4. Sprinkle your epsom salt and glitter mixture – it’s easiest to do this using a spoon or a scoop. Shake the excess off and leave to dry.
OPTIONAL STEP: Brush another layer of Mod Podge on top to seal it and prevent the glitter from falling off. Since I was making 2 dozen of these, I skipped this step to save time.
And you are done! Just pop your tealight in (or even a battery operated one) and you have yourself some elegant accents to your holiday table.
The best part is these votives are reusable too – good for your Christmas party, a New Year’s Eve bash, or even a wedding celebration.
I love the imperfect look and the additional texture the epsom salt brings to these gold votive candle holders – they’re just so pretty! Now to make a dozen more or so!
