We are continuing to share some simple and easy ideas to add a little “Patriotic” to your decor for the upcoming summer holidays with these cute little Bakers Twine wrapped candle holders. Sometimes, simple is all that is needed.
Supplies used:
Bakers Twine
glass candle holders
glue gun
scissors
To dress up some simple glass candle holders with a little red, white and blue, I pulled out my hot glue gun and some bakers twine.
I put a small dab of hot glue on the outside of the glass and just wrapped the twine around a few times, cut and glued the other end. Pretty simple.
Keeping with my ‘flag’ theme this month, I used three candle holders, one wrapped in blue and two in red. I love the simplicity of these. I also love that when the holiday is over, I can easily remove the twine and reuse it for something else.
For a little variation on the same theme, I wrapped the candle holders in more of a stripe pattern, still using just a dab of hot glue to secure both ends.
These will look cute with my other Patriotic decor this year.
Thank you for the visit!
