DIY Halloween Pillar Candle Holders

I love Halloween decorations almost as much as I love Halloween, but holiday decorations can be expensive. This year though, with help from the dollar store and Martha Stewart Glass Paints, I decided I was going to make some of our holiday decorations to save us a little money.

DIY Halloween Pillar Candle Holders

These DIY Halloween Pillar Candle Holders are super cute, easy to make, and perfect for any Halloween table-scape. Transform your pillar candle holders to fit any spook-tacular theme with inexpensive dollar store embellishments.

Supplies:

Dollar Store Glass Pillar Candle Holders
Martha Stewart Glass Spray Paint Kit
Martha Stewart Patterning Tape
Martha Stewart Glass Paint Gloss (Color Mace)
Martha Stewart Glass Paint Fine Glitter (Color Obsidian)
Misc. Dollar Store Halloween Decorations
Rubbing Alcohol
Newspaper (to protect work surface)

Directions:

Wipe Glass Pillar Candle Holders with rubbing alcohol to clean.
Wrap the Glass Pillar Candle Holders with Patterning Tape at the highest point you would like the paint to be.
Assemble Glass Spray Paint Kit and mix color as instructed on the box. For this project, I used 1/2 a tbsp of color with 1/2 a tablespoon of medium.
Spray Glass Pillar Candle Holder with first color staying below the Patterning Tape, spraying a heavier, thicker coat at the bottom of the glass and gradually lightening the coverage as you work your way up the glass creating a gradient effect. If any paint goes above the Patterning Tape, quickly wipe with rubbing alcohol to remove excess paint.
Let dry as directed.
Wash Glass Spray Paint Kit.
Repeat step #2 through #4 to mix and apply a layer of fine glitter.
Let dry as directed.
Wash Glass Spray Paint Kit.
Add Halloween Decorations to finish.
