What do you do when you have a few extra minutes and you’re feeling crafty? If you’re anything like me you’ll start to peruse through your craft stash and start brainstorming. I did just that and after digging up a few goodies, ended up with the cutest votive candle holder!  Easy as pie, and made with items most of us crafties already have at home.

This post was initially published in January 2014 but I wanted to re-publish it for you today because I know that you will love it as much as I did. Besides, who doesn’t appreciate an easy-peasy craft?

These fun candle holders are simple to make with Dollar Store votives! Perfect for Valentine’s Day, weddings, parties, centerpieces, or just pretty table decorations!
