Easy DIY Hurricane Christmas Candles

We are very traditional people when it comes to Christmas.  We like the same decorations in the same place, so I don't usually have many new Christmas decorations to share.  But we did add some very easy to make candles this year.  Made them with supplies from Dollar Tree and Brach's peppermint candies.

Here's what you will need - 

1. Glass Candlestick
2. Glass Cylinder Vase
3. Glass Cylinder Candle
4. 32 Peppermint Candies

First 3 items came from Dollar Tree and I got the peppermints from Wal-Mart in the giant economy bag.

To make the Hurricane glue the candlestick to the bottom of the vase with E6000 glue.  Then use hot glue to glue the peppermints on to the glass candle.

That's it! Super ease and so cute on our mantel - what do you think?

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas out here in Crosby! Well, maybe not a lot since I only have the mantel decorated..... but, at lease I've started decorating!  Wishing you all a wonderful week!

    GREAT!!! Love it so much. Mine is looking like it needs attention but I had a houseful for Thanksgiving and then got a cold so I'm laying low a few days. Love what you did. Your friend, Linda

      Thank you Linda! I'm moving very slowly myself on getting the house decorated this year. Hope you get to feeling better!

    That is such a cute idea! There are so many wonderful things you can do with religious candles.

      Thanks so much for dropping by, Carol. I just love how cute they turned out and I'm thinking that I might do the same with candy hearts for Valentines day.....and jelly beans for Easter! The possibilities are endless.

    I love these! Ive never seen this large hurricane glass in dollar tree or online, must be something they stopped carrying back in 2013. Do you know anywheree that carries them now?
