I love candles! There's nothing like the flicker of a candle in the room when you are enjoying a nice glass of wine and unwinding. However, I am lazy and forgetful. I get annoyed walking around having to light them and then I forget to put them out (they usually burn for 4-5 hours, if not more 🥴, and that can get expensive). Therefore, I am a fan of battery operated candles (that are on a timer). I have not been successful in finding votive holders that were colorful, unique, and inexpensive. So, I called upon Professor Google and I found my inspiration at DIYJOY!
Here is the list of items (ingredients) needed:
-Glue gun
-Glass gems (translucent is best)
-Jar or glass
The process is fairly self-explanatory, you glue the gems to the glass. I opted to put the glue on the gem, but you can apply the glue directly to the glass. It is best to start on the bottom to ensure you have an even edge. Depending on the glass shape and size you can stagger the gems to minimize space in between (similar to what it seen on DIYJOY), or do what I did, which was line them up. This allows for a little more unfiltered light. Since these gems are hot-glued to the glass, you should not use a real candle as the heat would likely make them fall off.
