2. Glitter

Here is an easy way to make votive candle holders. Take a candle holder, spray the inside with spray adhesive, and sprinkle with glitter. Shake and make sure you cover every inch of the interior with glitter. Let dry and add a tealight candle inside for fairy-like illumination.

6. Lace

This is my favorite from this list of DIY votive candle holders. I can't help it; I love, LOVE doilies! Aside from the fact that these are pretty, these candle holders are very easy to make, too. Check out Danni's tutorial below.

7. Tissue Paper

Can you believe that these pretty floral candle holders are made primarily of tissue paper? Cute, right? Other materials that you will need to make these lovely things are Mod Podge, small cups, brush, and plastic wrap.

8. Painted

This is another favorite from this batch. I like this because they are watercolor-inspired and they also happen to be very easy to make. What you do is simply cover the inside of clear candle holders with watery paint. Let dry and you're done.

9. Jane Austen

This DIY candle holder idea is pretty neat, too. To make this, you Mod Podge book pages to a glass candle holder and then add a Jane Austen silhouette. The book pages that you use don't have to be from a Jane Austen novel, of course, if you think that it will be a crime to mutilate one of her books. I agree with you, by the way.

10. Fabric Strips

Yes, you can use pretty fabric to make lovely DIY votive candle holders. The tutorial below calls for watered down craft glue to adhere the strips to the glass but you can always use Mod Podge.
