Candles are precious elements in interior decoration, especially during the Christmas period. There are many types of candles and they all create a truly intimate and warm atmosphere, to enjoy the most beautiful days of the year together. Let yourself be inspired by our ideas to create a magical atmosphere during Christmas .
1. Use jars as decorative items
To create pretty, homemade candle holders at a lower cost, take empty glass jars and place a colorful candle in them, preferably large enough. You can then customize the jar with stickers, stencils, and paint, or just a pretty ribbon. For a more vegetal atmosphere, fill your jars with water and float a tea-light candle. Add a few rose petals or branches, being careful that the flame does not touch the plants.
2. Original candlesticks
Here are some unusual DIY ideas! Take old spools of wooden threads, cover them with decorative paper or paint them any color you want and place large candles. To make an unusual candlestick yourself, stick a candle in a small pie dish, which you will have previously rounded. Guaranteed effect!
3. Surround the candles with cinnamon
It’s one of the easiest Do It Yourself to do, and it will last a very long time! In the store, buy several branches of cinnamon and form a small bundle around the candle, which you will tie with rope or a ribbon. For an additional decorative touch, you can stick small accessories reminiscent of Christmas like holly, for example. The advantage? Your candles will be delicately scented with cinnamon!
4. Divert everyday objects
Do you want to change the eternal candlesticks that you bring out every year at Christmas? Use empty bottles or jars you don’t need and paint them the same color as the candles you want to light. You will then obtain candle holders that are perfect for a contemporary or industrial interior.
5. Create poetic candle holders
With paper, cut out pretty little houses and slip a tea light inside. You will have an illuminated village to lay out all along with your Christmas table. You can also create a candle holder by cutting the shape of a tree out of patterned paper, which you will then stick on a glass jar.
6. Make luminous fruits
For a warm Christmas, make original supports with fruit. Peel clementines and cut stars (or other patterns as you wish). The light from the candle will pass through in pretty orange tones. Another solution: empty small apples to place a tealight candle.
7. Create a bright centerpiece
In order to decorate your Christmas table inexpensively, place several candles of the same color but not different sizes on a tray and secure them. If you do not want to install them as a centerpiece on your dining table, put them all in front of a window to light up your room and so that the neighbors can enjoy them from outside!
