Dollar Store Crafting: DIY Halloween Candles & Holders

Supplies needed to create your own…

• Taper Candle Holders
• Taper Candles
• Black Acrylic Paint (or spray paint)
• Paintbrush
• Painters Tape (optional)

I already had all of my supplies except the holders and candles so this entire project cost me $3. I bought the candle holders and the pack of 2 taper candles at the Dollar Tree.

Directions:

1. Paint the candle holders. This project would go much faster if you use spray paint. I didn’t have any black available so I just went with acrylic paint. It works just fine but will require a good 4 coats to cover the glass holders thoroughly.

2. Once you have the holders painted you can move on to the candles or vice versa. All I did to paint the candles was put some painters tape around the area I didn’t want to be painted and started brushing the paint on. I didn’t really measure so my lines aren’t exactly even or straight but I think for Halloween that is ok.

3. You’re done! Once everything is dry you can place the candles in their holders and enjoy. 🙂
