Christmas decoration ideas - DIY Frosted Candle Holders

What can make house filled with Christmas and winter spirit more then a candles burning all around. I love candles. Gentle lights and soft shades on the walls makes me day dreaming all day long and feel so cosy. While I`m making a hot chocolate for my boys, soft Christmas music is playing and beautiful smells are spreading all around the rooms. Everything looks so festive and I find myself thinking: Life is good! 

Who doesn`t love this time of the year?!

It`s time to enjoy with family and friends. It`s time for giving and receiving love and time for presents! 

This frosted and glitter candle holders are so pretty both for winter and Christmas time and they are so easy to make. They can be a great DIY present and it cost you just a little love and patience.  So let`s get started with a tutorial.

Šta može učiniti dom svečanijim za vreme zime i praznika od sveća koje trepere svuda. Obožavam sveće. Njihova nežna svetlost i meke senke na zidovima bude maštu i sanjarenje. Dok spremam toplu čokoladu za moje dečake, sa radija dopiru meki zvuci starih Božićnih pesama a predivan miris koji se širi domom čini sve lepšim i svečanijim i u tom trenutku moram da pomislim kako je život lep.

Pa kako onda da ne volim ovo doba godine?!

Vreme uživanja sa porodicom i prijateljima, stvoreno za opuštanje i darivanje. 

Ove zamrznute, svetlucave tegle - svećnjaci su podjednako lepe za celu zimu a i praznike, a prave se tako lako. Mogu da budu divan poklon vašim najdražima, poklon koji ste sami napravili, a koji vas skoro ništa nije koštao, osim malo ljubavi i strpljenja. Krenumo sa tutorijalom.

You will need:

Jars

Painters tape

Wire (I used gold flower wire)

Ribbon of your choice

Toothpaste

Sponge brush

Materijal:

Tegle

Molerska traka

Žica (ja sam koristila zlatnu cvećarku žicu)

Ukrasna traka po izboru

Pasta za zube

Sunđerasta četkica ili komad sunđera

First cut the desired shape out of painters tape and stick it on your jar. It can be stars, deer, hearts, Christmas tree, snowflakes...

Prvo isecite od molerske trake željene oblike i zalepite na teglu. To mogu biti zvezde, jeleni, srca, jelke, pahulje...

Use a sponge brush or a piece of sponge and apple a toothpaste on the jar. I recommend to do it in a tapping motion. While it`s still wet, sprinkle glitter to make it more shine. Let it dry for 10-15 min.  

Sunđerastom četkicom ili parčetom sunđera nanesite pastu za zube na teglu. Preporučujem da to radite tapkajućim pokretima. Dok je pasta još vlažna poprskajte gliterom za lepši sjaj. Ostavite da se suši oko 10-15 min.

When it`s dry, add a coat of clear spray varnish to make it more permanent. Add ribbon and make a bow. Now is the time to make a handle out of wire. Band wire around the jar to measure it. Make one end longer (about 2/3). 

Osušenu teglu poprskajte lakom u spreju kako bi sve učinili trajnijim. Oko ruba tegle vežite traku i završite lepom mašnom. Sada je vreme da napravite držač. Savijte žicu oko tegle ostavljajući jedan kraj dužim (oko 2/3).

Using pen or your finger make small loop on one side.

Koristeći se olovkom ili prstom, napravite malu omču na jednom kraju.

Put a wire back on a jar and twist the other end on the opposite side...

Vratite žicu na teglu i učvrstite na drugom kraju...

and make the other loop...

i od ostatka žice napravite drugi obruč...

Bend the wire in a arch form and put the end through the loop. Bend again to secure it. Use two wires for bigger jars.

Presavijte žicu lučno i provucite kraj žice kroz obruč. Savijte kraj koji ste provukli da sve osigurate i gotovo! Koristite dve žice za veće tegle.

Light your candles and you are done!

Upalite sveće i uživajte!
