$2 Dollar Tree Glam Candle Holders DIY: 3 PC Crushed Glass Candle Holder

Creating beautiful home décor doesn’t have to break the bank. In this DIY guide, we’ll show you how to make stunning candle holders using items from Dollar Tree, specifically a three-piece crushed glass candle holder that will add a touch of glam to any space.

Materials You’ll Need

• Candle Holders: Three Dollar Tree candle holders (or similar from Goodwill)
• Bling Trim: Dollar Tree’s adhesive bling (2–3 rows)
• Gorilla Glue: For secure adhesion
• Mirror Tile: Cut in strips from Dollar Tree
• Crushed Glass: To fill the holders
• Mod Podge: To secure the crushed glass
• Spray Paint: Metallic silver (Rust-Oleum recommended)
• Additional Tools: Foam brush, scissors, large bowl of water

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Decorating the Candle Holders

1. Prepare the Holders: Start with the three candle holders. If you find them at Dollar Tree, that’s perfect! Otherwise, look for similar sizes at thrift stores.

2. Attach Bling Trim: Using Gorilla Glue, adhere adhesive bling around the necks of each candle holder. Depending on the look you want, use 2-4 rows of bling for a dazzling effect.

3. Glue Holders: Once the bling is dry, stack the holders together to create height variation. Ensure they are securely glued using Gorilla Glue.

Step 2: Creating the Second DIY with Crushed Glass

1. Select Your Glass: For the second part of the DIY, you can either use slimmer candle holders from Dollar Tree or find alternatives at Goodwill.

2. Paint the Holders: If your holders aren’t silver, spray paint them with metallic silver paint and allow them to dry.

3. Add Mirror Tile: Cut mirror tiles in individual strips. Start adding them around the top of the candle holders for additional glam factor, securing each piece with glue.

Step 3: Filling with Crushed Glass

1. Prepare the Crushed Glass: Get a container for the crushed glass. Apply a layer of Mod Podge inside your painted candle holders.

2. Apply Crushed Glass: Use your hands or a brush to pack the crushed glass onto the Mod Podge. Allow it to dry fully.

3. Seal the Glass: Create a sealing mixture with a ratio of 2/3 water and 1/3 Mod Podge. Brush this mix over the crushed glass to keep it shiny and in place.

Step 4: Assemble the Tray

1. Tray Preparation: Use a tray from Dollar Tree, spray paint it, and then attach handle holders using Gorilla Glue.

2. Final Assembly: After all components are dry, place the candle holders on the tray. Use additional glue to secure them in the center.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

Once everything has dried, you can further enhance the aesthetic by adding a row of mirror tiles around the tray or further decor to your liking.
