We are starting to get things ready for Christmas here. Yes, I know Thanksgiving hasn’t passed yet, but every year my girls and I plan our table centerpiece together. Then I get busy making the elements. I like to have it done before Thanksgiving, so the day after Thanksgiving I can go Christmasy at our house. Part of our table centerpiece for this year involved learning how to make a glitter candle. It was really easy and could be some fun DIY home decor for any time of year.

Thanks, Dad!
I bought candles with the intention of doing this, and no DIY instructions! Thanks for posting!
So glad I could help you out! Have fun! I hope you love how they look when you are finished.
I have no idea if my glitter is flammable or not but I am thinking I can just do this with cheap battery operated candles instead. Glitter + glue + candle = one happy girl! Thanks for this simple idea!!!
Yes, I think you might be able to do this with the battery operate candles. They just may be a bit more challenging to get the Mod Podge and Glitter to stick to since they are plastic. I hope it works!

Oh wow that is pretty simple and best of all much cheaper than going out and buying candles! Although I do not think my little man would be to into making glitter candles I sure wouldn’t mind doing this for the holidays! Thanks for sharing! ~Leah~
Yes, I love how much cheaper it is over buying this type of candle! You might be surprised that your little man might like sprinkling the glitter. You never know. Take care,

A beautiful DIY!
Thanks!
Love it! Such a great idea!
Thanks!
Love white sparkly candles, they look so serene in a grouping as you’ve shown them. Candles are so expensive now. Maybe that’s something we might want to try to make on our own. I’m tired of paying so much for a plain white candle. I do watch at Michaels when they have candles on sale or I use a coupon. Only way I’ll buy candles anymore is on sale or coupon, I blame it on my SS budget (and I’m cheap). Happy days, glad I found your blog again.
Beautiful candles love the glitter effect i have just done this with wine glasses, now where did i put my candles? lol!
is glass glitter flammable Thank you
I’m not sure. The glitter I used is not glass. I’ve used these candles for years now and never had any issue with the glitter. Sorry, I don’t have more information for you.
