What You'll Need

Votive candle holder
Battery operated light
Glue
Small bowl for glue
Paintbrush
Tissue paper
Glitter

What to Do

Step 1: Pour some glue into a small bowl and brush the glue over the entire outside of the votive candle holder.

Step 2: Begin placing tissue paper on the votive.

Step 3: Continue placing tissue paper over the entire outside of the votive, overlapping and placing at different angles if desired. Once complete, brush glue over tissue paper to seal.

Step 4: With glue still wet, sprinkle glitter on (optional, but who doesn't love glitter? Are we right?! 🙂 ). We chose a super fine glitter which gave it just the right amount of sparkle and glimmer. You could also apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to seal it all in.
