DIY Candle Holders - Nature Meets Glam

Supplies:

• Aluminum cans
• Sticks from the yard
• Candle sticks
• Hot glue
• Rope 
• Clear beads

Step 1:  

• Gather all the sticks you can find (well I had to because I don't have trees in my backyard - some how I had sticks though...)

Step 2:  

• Cover the can with a natural colored paper 
• On the first can I used scrapbook paper 
• On the second can I used a brown paper bag

Step 3: 

• Hot glue the sticks around the aluminum can (If I could go back, I wouldn't have used the aluminum cans for this project but maybe glass votive holders from the Dollar Store.  The can is much more visible through the sticks then I would have liked.)

Step 4:

• Adhere the cans to candle sticks (I had some glitzy looking taper holders I purchased from Hobby Lobby a few years back.)
• To help tie the natural look of the sticks  to the more glamorous look of the  candle stick, I strung clear beads on a thin rope and draped it around each can.
