Etched Candle Holders – Perfect for Christmas!

Learn how to make etched candle holders.

There are years where the Holidays, especially Christmas, seem to come and go so quickly.

For me, last Christmas flew by so fast that I barely had a chance to create anything . I did make a wall mounted advent calendar and a no sew ribbon tree skirt, but still not as much as I would have liked.

This year I made myself a promise to start crafting things for the Holidays as soon as November started. I’m quite happy to say that I stuck to my promise! YAY!

A few weeks back when I received my box of October supplies from the 12 Months of Martha program, there was a set of Berry Branch Stickers that I instantly knew I wanted to use on a Christmas Craft. They would be perfect to decorate vases that I was planning on etching and using them as candle holders.

Supplies:

• Cylinder Glass Vase(s)
• Martha Stewart Crafts Glass Etching Cream & brush
• Plastic gloves
• Martha Stewart Crafts Berry Branch Stickers
• Candle(s)

Instructions:

Step 1:  Take out all the supplies you will need to create the project.

Make sure the vase(s) is clean and free of dust.

Step 2: Put on plastic gloves and apply a very thick layer of Glass Etching Cream onto your vase(s).

Use a brush to smooth it on.

I found that having my husband pour the etching cream onto the surface as a brushed it on worked very well.

Step 3: Leave the glass etching cream on the surface for 15 minutes.

After the 15 minutes are up, rinse off the etching cream under running water.

Let dry.

Step 4: Place the Berry Branch Stickers onto the etched vase(s) and insert a candle.

I noticed that the Berry Branch Stickers seem to not always be available, I found options that I think would look cute also! Jolee’s Boutique Flourishes and Holly Dimensional Stickers or even these Holly Berries And Twigs Peel And Stick Wall Decals if the vases are big enough.

And voilà, you now have beautiful Etched Candle Holders perfect for the Holidays!

Have you started crafting/creating things for the Holidays?

I also made romantic lace candle holders that would look great during the Holidays too. Oh I also made super cute Flameless Christmas Candles!

Hope you are having a BEAUTIFUL day!
