This original candle holder tutorial by Deanna uses spools to add country charm to your candles.
She used fabric and Mod Podge to decorate the spools, but gold metallic paint would also be lovely for the holidays. You’ll also need a votive candle holder and glue to stick it onto the decorated spool base.
If you let the kids go crazy with ribbon, buttons or stickers, this would make a fun family craft project! See 12 Days of DIY Christmas: Spool Candle Holder for full instructions.
