Upcycled Thrift Store Candle Holders

Decor and Decorating

Share it with others!

I upcycled some candle holders that I found at the thrift store and turned them into glass flowers just in time for spring.

I found these 2 candle holders at our local Arc Thrift Store. I brought them home and washed them and cleaned them up.

I used E6000 for this project but you could use an adhesive of your choice. By using this glue I’ll be able to use my creation inside or out.

I squeezed the E6000 into the taper candle holder. I filled it up but saved room at the top.

I then placed the second candle holder’s stem into the top of the taper candle holder into the glue.

I let this dry for 24 hours.

Here is the completed creation and I think it looks like a flower.

You can add a battery operated LED light, tealight, or light source of your choice.

I made a variety of these glass flowers just in time for spring.

    These are so pretty! Have you ever tried coloring the top glass part in order to have more colors?

      Thanks Linda, and I haven’t tried coloring the glass yet on these. I’ve been lucky enough to find the colorful glasses so have been utilizing them, but that’s a great idea for the future ones πŸ™‚

    These are really well done Chas. The pink one in the back very much looks like a tulip. Very fun craft idea.

      Thank you Leanne. I love the colored glass as well and I when these beautiful and lonely pieces sitting on at the thrift store I just had to find a way to make them shine again.
