Glitter Candle Gift Idea #MadeWithMichaels

November 13, 2014 By Michelle Barneck 33 Comments

Michaels sent me a gift card and a list of Pinterest inspired projects with a challenge to make my own holiday DIY project. I saw this glitter candle and knew it would translate in to a great gift idea for my little guy’s preschool teacher. I chose to do a winter spin on the glitter candle gift so she can keep it out through January and it will keep her classroom looking cute and smelling great!

Easy Glitter Candle Gift idea

ITEMS NEEDED:

  • Ashland Jar Candle
  • Recollections Glass Glitter
  • Mod Podge Matte
  • Foam Brush
  • Paper Plate
  • Celebrate It Satin Ribbon (Pewter)
  • Wood Snowflake Ornament
  • Scissors

Glitter Candle Gift Supplies

Pour a good amount of glitter on to a paper plate and spread to cover the bottom. I love how this glass glitter is almost like tiny mosaic tiles and really shines!

Blue Glitter

Using a foam brush, paint one side of the jar with a coat of mod podge. Roll that side of the candle in the glitter and let it dry. Repeat for the other side. Tie a ribbon around the neck of the jar, thread the ornament on to the ribbon and tie a bow to secure.

 Glitter Candle Gift Idea

This is such a simple project with a big impact! We’ll be gifting this glitter candle to his teacher with a note that says, “Being in your class is ‘snow’ much fun!”

You can join the party at your local Michaels store on November 15th from 1-4 p.m. to create your own top holiday Pinterest craft! It should be a lot of fun!

      Hi Christie-
      You can use any glass glitter. If you search glass glitter in google it will give you some options.

    I’m making this right now and choose to just use the extra fine glitter from recollections. Will it stick and should I use a sealer over it?

      I did not use a sealer over the glass slitter because it would cover up the sparkle.

    Beautiful! Love this idea and wanted to do as a craft at a birthday party. Can this be completed in one sitting or do I need to only do one side of the Mason jar and then let dry before doing the other side? Or do u think we could mod podge the whole thing and coat w/glitter? Thank u!

      Yes, you can do this all in one sitting. You can do one side at a time so you have somewhere to hold and so the mod podge does not dry out before you do the other side, but it comes together pretty quickly.

    What if the candle has a sticker on the front? Do you just peel it off or leave it on? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a blank candle before.

      Nevermind, was able to get it off without all the pieces sticking to the glass. Would any type of Mod podge work?
