Holidays and celebrations are the perfect time to create new traditions with family and friends. There are small things you can do to add festivity while keeping your celebration eco-friendly, creative and fun!
Lynn from CelebrateGreen.com made this candle holder from recycled Christmas tree light bulbs and bulb-shaped ornaments.
Supplies:
* Red, white and/or blue Christmas light bulbs (the number will depend on the size you choose to make your candle holder)
* Piece of cardboard or large round coaster
* Glue
* Votive candle holder
* Beeswax or soy votive candle (you could also choose to treat the candle holder like a small vase and fill with small flowers)
Directions:
* Cut circle from cardboard. The size is up to you. Play with it based on the number of bulbs you have. Or use the coaster for the base.
* Glue the first row of bulbs around the circle with sides touching.
* Glue the second row of bulbs on top of the first.
* If you make a larger circle, you might even add a third row of bulbs.
* Place votive candle holder in the middle.
* Add candle or flowers.
