Hi guys! Are y’all starting to get excited about the holidays? This is my favorite time of year! I love holiday crafting, baking, holiday movies, spending extra time with family! It’s seriously the best! Today I wanted to share a vintage kitschmas craft with you all from a 1956 issue of Better Homes and Gardens Christmas Ideas Magazine. This easy candle holder is great to add as a centerpiece to your holiday table or your holiday vignettes!
Here is the original:
- Here’s what you need…
- wine glass
- ornament
- tinsel, beaded trim, etc..
- Quick grab glue or hot glue
Basically what I did was glue tinsel trim around the rim and the foot of the wine glass. Then I glued a little tinsel in the bottom inside of the glass and glued an ornament into the bottom on the tinsel so when you flip the glass upside down the ornament would be facing right side up. Once everything was nice and dry, I stuck a candle on the upside down wine glass.
These candle holders are about as kitschy as they come, dontcha think? They are really easy to make and actually really fun and you can use pretty much things you would already have on hand. It would be a super fun project for craft night or to do with an older kiddo. I hope you all will give it a try sometime. I’ll be back soon with more kitschmas!
xoxo, Ashlee
