Transforming Glass Bottles into Elegant Candle Holders

Gather Your Materials

First, you'll need a clean glass bottle, a candle that fits into the bottle's opening, sandpaper, paint (optional), and a paintbrush (optional).

Prepare the Bottle

Ensure your glass bottle is clean and dry. If there are any labels, remove them carefully. Use sandpaper to smooth any rough edges.

Paint the Bottle (Optional)

If you want to add a pop of color to your candle holder, paint the bottle in a color that matches your room's aesthetic. Let it dry completely before moving to the next step.

Insert the Candle

Once your bottle is prepared, simply insert your candle into the opening of the bottle. Ensure it fits snugly and stands upright.
