12 pk votives and glass holders- 5.97 at wally world
1 or 2 or alot of different color shiny garland- on sale after Xmas get it cheap
glue sticks and glue gun
mini ornaments or what ever you have on hand
bar coasters
glitter glue- I used silver , gold and a sparkly kind
these cost me about 75 cents each to make
Paint on your glitter glue to outside of each glass...let dry
hot glue your garland around the outside of your coaster.
then do another close to the inside of that ring.
make sure the opening in the middle of coaster will fit your glass votive holder
than hot glue your mini ornaments on top of garland to each side or middle of outer ring
I did not attach the glass so it will be easy to remove candle when done..
p.s. I heard if you use a qtip to swab veg oil around bottom of votive the wax should come out easily
here are a couple pics
2 dif kind closeup
