Hello everybody! In today's craft we are going to see how make this pretty candle holder with corks. It is a very quick craft to do, as well as very simple. It will also help us to recycle the corks of the wine bottles that we consume. It is perfect to decorate the table if we make a couple of centers, even some larger than others.
Do you want to know how you can make this candle holder?
Materials that we will need to make our candle holder
- Wine corks, preferably the same size
- Crystal glass
- Cardboard
- Candle or led garland
- Hot glue gun
- Ribbon to decorate.
Hands on craft
- We cut a cardboard circle. This circle must be larger than the diameter of the glass, so that we can stick the corks in it.
- We can wash the corks by soaking them in boiling water and waiting for them to dry before making the craft. But we can also leave them as they are, to add a touch of wine color to the craft, that will be up to you.
- We put the crystal glass in the middle. You can glue the glass to the cardboard if you want, although the ideal is not to do so in order to clean the wax that may fall inside.
- Little by little we are going to put the corks around the glass and stick them on the cardboard. If the glass is not glued, we are going to be careful not to glue the corks to the glass either, or we will not be able to remove it later.
- Once we have all the corks glued we will put a ribbon as a support and decoration. We will make a knot or a bow.
- We will put inside the glass a candle.
And ready! We already have our candle holder with corks ready to be used. We can add some extra decoration to the ribbon, such as small pendants or even a branch or dried flower.
I hope you cheer up and do this craft.
