Floating candles

It's nice to watch the floating candles. Everyone has an old transparent vase or crystal salad bowl.

And then your creative composition will become the main decoration of the festive table.

Scented fruit candles.

Original candlesticks can be made from citrus fruits, but they need to be prepared immediately before the celebration. Such candlesticks will give a beautiful and very unusual glow and subtle aroma. Take grapefruits or oranges, cut them in half and carefully remove all the pulp, keeping the skin.
Using a marker or pen, draw a simple pattern and use nail scissors to cut out any excess. There should be a lot of holes to allow light to escape.
Place a candle in the center of each half. Decorate the fruit candlestick with small Christmas tree branches, dried clove buds, and rowan berries. Use toothpicks to attach berries and tiny toys.


New Year's candlesticks made of twigs.

Such decorative candlesticks are suitable for rustic, Country and Eco styles. To make them, you can use small twigs, brushwood, hay and pieces of logs; you just need to collect a bundle of any size and shape, glue the twigs together with hot glue and decorate with ribbons, berries or small New Year's toys. To prevent the holiday decorations from catching fire, candles in this design must be placed on metal stands, which you can cut yourself from tin cans. It is better to take short and stable candles.

Good afternoon, today we will make original New Year's candlesticks with our own hands. In this article I collected a lot of photos and wrote detailed instructions And step by step mk for each option of a decorative candlestick for the New Year.

As you can see, I decided to tightly pack this article with crafts and candlesticks for every taste - children's and adults. Therefore you can find here craft options for children and ideas for serious adult candle holder gifts for the New Year. Let's start making beautiful New Year's candles with our own hands.

Candlestick made from bushings

from toilet paper.

Here is our first chic New Year's candlestick, made in the shape of a star. It seems like something factory-made, bought in a store. But in fact it is possible do it yourself at home with children. This star candlestick is made from cardboard, rolled into rolls. That is, we need to roll rolls from cardboard (or take ready-made toilet paper rolls). We will need 7 rolls and one round paper(a disposable paper plate will do).

And now I'll tell you HOW to make such a New Year's candlestick YOURSELF.

HOW TO MAKE THIS STAR CANDLESTICK with your own hands.

STEP 1 - The point is that each ray of a star is a roll, which at one end flattened TOP-DOWN, and from the other end flattened LEFT TO RIGHT. We fix the flattened area with a stapler or glue. As a result, we get a volumetric ray of the future star. We make 6 such rays. D

STEP 2 – Next, take a circle of paper (or a paper plate), the diameter of the circle should be such that it can accommodate all the rays of the star in a circle. We place them with the flat, flattened side on the edge of the round (plate). Glue all the rays onto the edge of the plate.

STEP 3 - Now let's take it 7th roll of cardboard and it must be glued to the center of the plate. To make it stick, cut the desired end of the roll into short and wide fringe– spread the rays of the fringe of the frame (into a sun spread) - and glue it with this spread to the center of the paper round.

STEP 4 - Further take a can of gold paint(or gold acrylic paint in a jar) and cover the entire surface of the craft with gold. You can buy paint at a car dealership or in the construction department of the market (costs 3-5 dollars). Acrylic gold paint a jar costs 3-4 dollars.

And if you want to get blurs, smudges and frozen drops on the surface of the craft, the same as in the photo - before painting you need to apply it to the craft hot glue from a glue gun and allow him to chaotically cover the surface of the cardboard elements of the candlestick with zigzags and blots. And after hardening, paint it. In the absence of hot glue, you can try regular silicate glue. stationery glue-snot from our Soviet childhood - it is also thick and also hardens in shiny, voluminous droplets (you just have to wait a little longer for drying).

STEP 5 - Next - inside the central roll we stuff the newspaper- so that it is not empty - but do not stuff it to the brim, but leave a recess into which the candle-tablet will become. And then we put a TABLET CANDLE on this compacted newspaper inside the roll.

STEP 6 - And all that remains is decorate the rest of the surface of the round (plate) pine cones, balls, beads, shiny garland and other New Year's tinsel.

As you can see, a simple photograph - if you look at it carefully, it will tell you how to do the same thing with your own hands.

New Year's candlesticks

ANGELS.

We make these angels from plain white paper. And then we cover the entire craft with gold spray paint. Spray paint cans are sold at any hardware store or automotive supply store - they are not very expensive (about 3-5 dollars).

You and your children can make this angel craft. From a paper cone. To prevent the craft from catching fire from the candle flame, we will make this lamp without a live fire, and place a regular New Year’s glowing garland inside the cone. This will make a children's gift-candlestick for a grandfather or grandmother - they will be happy to light it in the evenings on New Year's days for many years.

Paper candlesticks WITH SLOTS.

You can make an elegant New Year's candlestick from an ordinary sheet of paper rolled into a tube. The paper won't light up because hot air from the candle it freely extends into the socket of such a paper lampshade-candlestick.

And if you are afraid for fire safety– then you can place a tall glass glass inside such a paper roll and lower a candle into it.

By the way, to light a low candle-tablet AT THE BOTTOM OF A TALL glass you can use regular spaghetti pasta. They are long and burn well - we light such a spaghetti torch and calmly lower it to the candle wick at the bottom of the candlestick. Very comfortably.

Here is a master class below, which shows a step-by-step master class on making such candlesticks with slots - just in the New Year theme: with Christmas trees and stars.

First, cut a piece of paper with height to the height of the glass, and with width, sufficient to encircle the circumference of the glass and overlap the edges for gluing.

On a sheet of paper we draw the lines of the boundaries of the axial rod of the drawing. At the same distance from each other.

On both sides of the drawn borders we draw the outlines of Christmas trees and stars.

We make cuts along the drawn Christmas trees, but do not reach the center lines of the borders with scissors.

Paper candlesticks

WITH PERFORATION.

You can make punctures rather than slits on the same roll of paper. Such perforation can be filled with a regular nail - if you place a sheet of paper on a semi-hard surface (for example, a sheet of foam plastic) and simply drive the nail in with a hammer at the points drawn in advance. This is how a candlestick with a snowflake in the photo below was made with your own hands.

You can wrap the glass so that puncture marks are not visible from the outside. And make sure that the perforation has holes different sizes. To do this, we take nails of different cross-sectional diameters. With thick nails we will get large holes, with thin nails we will get smaller ones.

The main thing is to think in advance and draw with a pencil our pattern of large and small dots on the future New Year's lamp.

And you don’t have to make just a pattern of snowflakes. You can use the same principle to pin the silhouette of a Christmas tree, deer, snowman, Santa Claus and other New Year's characters.

You can fold a sheet of paper not into a round roll, but into a tetrahedral socket. And decorate each of the four edges with the same white New Year's appliqué.

The back side of each hole must be sealed with tissue paper (translucent tracing paper, or oiled white paper) - that is, the material that will transmit light. Very beautiful and delicate lamps for the New Year.

To prevent such a craft from igniting from a candle flame, the top must be left without a roof. Or, instead of a candle, put an LED Christmas tree garland inside. It will work out beautiful candlestick-a gift – both a garland and a lampshade with delicate paper carvings.

You can cut paper blanks in the shape of a house. In the same way, use tracing paper or oiled paper to secure the openings of the cut out windows and doors of the houses.

New Year's candlesticks

IN THE QUILLING TECHNIQUE.

You can make candlesticks from paper twists made using the quilling technique. Let's look at how to make such a candlestick with your own hands - using the example of a blue New Year's candlestick from the photo below.

STEP 1 - To do this, colored double-sided paper is cut into narrow strips. Each strip is wound around a rod (or toothpick).

Then this twist is removed from the toothpick and placed inside a round stencil-hole on a geometric ruler - and within the boundaries of this stencil the twist is allowed to unwind - to the size of the stencil hole.

STEP 2 - Next, take the twist out of the stencil and glue its tail to the twist barrel. We make a lot of such modules - in two sizes, larger and smaller (that is, we adjust some to fit the small hole of the stencil, and others to fit the large hole of the stencil on a regular geometric ruler).

STEP 4 - And now we make up and glue the candlestick - we take a round candle tablet and glue small round twists onto its side. Next, around this first round dance of round modules we place teardrop-shaped large twists - so that they are light in pairs, forming a heart shape.

You can give this New Year's quilling candlestick a shape with sides. If you place the modules on a small paper plate with raised edges, or a jar lid.

From quilling twist modules you can come up with any designs for New Year's candlesticks. In the form of a snowflake, a New Year's Christmas wreath.

You can also use an ordinary voluminous paper snowflake as a simple candlestick with your own hands. Cut out and place under a tablet candle.


Candlesticks for the New Year,

crocheted.

Here's a way to create a candle holder for those who know how to crochet. To do this, you can take any pattern of a knitted snowflake or a knitted star.

You will find many patterns of knitted snowflakes in my article

Candlestick

from a plastic bottle.

And the most free stuff for a New Year's candlestick this is the usual plastic bottle. We throw them away anyway, so why not turn them into Christmas lights.

Cut off the straight central part from the bottle. Cut pointed petals from one side of the pipe. And bend them to the sides. Paint the lamp a light golden color. Apply star stickers. Spread the edges of the petals with glue and sprinkle with silver sprinkles - you can make it yourself if you finely trim the shiny pile from a fluffy Christmas tree garland, or cut a Christmas tree rain.

You can come up with your own candlesticks from a bottle - any shape and complement them with any decor - borders made of bright ribbon, snowflakes, colored glass stones, etc.

New Year's candlestick

from a glass jar.

The simplest candlestick from a jar is made quickly and easily with your own hands. From masking tape (which we use to cover windows for the winter), cut out a silhouette, such as a star. Stick it on the side of the jar, and paint the rest of the surface of the jar with gouache (white is best). To prevent the gouache from sticking to your hands after drying and staining your clothes, spray the top of the painted jar with hairspray. Next, remove our star sticker from the masking tape and get a finished New Year's candlestick made by yourself.

The silhouette sticker can be anything perfect - a snowman, a penguin, a snowflake, or a deer with branchy antlers.

You can also decorate the border of our design with sprinkles; to do this, apply some edge along the edge of the silhouette and sprinkle shiny sprinkles on top of it (I described what to make it from in the previous candlestick).

You can buy gold-colored acrylic paint at the stationery store and use a thin brush to outline the edge of the silhouette-hole on the candlestick. And even make some kind of festive inscription on the silhouette itself. It turns out to be a bright jar-candle holder - and by the way, you can pour white beans into its bottom and drown the candle in it.

You can implement the principle of a silhouette hole on a candlestick jar not with paint - but with paper. That is, cut out the desired picture on a strip of paper in advance and wrap the candlestick jar with such paper. As in the photo with the New Year's craft below.

You can cover the entire surface of the jar with green pieces of napkin (buy green paper napkins, or green crepe paper) it is thin and fits well the smooth curves of the can.
It’s easy to glue - using PVA glue - and it’s better not to buy a small tube from an office supply store, but to go to a hardware store and immediately buy a half-liter jar of PVA - you’ll succeed 4 times cheaper. I do all my children's crafts with this glue. It lasts a long time and is always fresh, but in jars it constantly dries out.

So... we cover the jar with PVA glue and put chopped pieces of green paper on top of it - due to the fact that the pieces will be layered on top of each other, we will get such a chipped polygonal green pattern. And then, to give all this green chaos a New Year’s recognition, we’ll simply paint here and there (or add red paper) circles of holly berries.

The same red balls of berries will decorate our next New Year's candlestick. Here we cover all the walls of the jar with snow. We make it from ordinary salt or sugar (or finely grated polystyrene foam)

Cover the sides of the jar with glue and roll in white sprinkles on the table. When dried, we decorate with a string under which a green twig (for example, a spruce foot) or a green string of textile ribbon is inserted. And in the middle we attach a bunch of berries. It can be beads strung on wire and painted in red gouache (or nail polish). Can beads mold from plasticine and cover them with nail polish on top for shine and color. Or you can take large foam balls.

If you are good at drawing, you can simply draw a New Year's design on the side of a glass jar and you will get an elegant candlestick. You can put not a candle inside the jar, but a New Year's LED garland- and then the jar will sparkle with several lights at once.

You can find ideas for New Year's drawings on a jar in my article

You can also simply APPLY a silhouette in a New Year’s theme to the surface of the jar - like a decorative applique decoration. This applique can be easily and quickly made at home - find suitable pictures on the Internet and cut out the desired silhouettes from colored paper.

you also can copy directly from this screen silhouette of a deer. Simply place a sheet of paper on the screen and use a pencil to trace the image that is visible on the sheet. To reduce or enlarge the image on the screen, simply roll the mouse wheel forward or backward, holding the cropCtrl on your keyboard.

Multi-layered applications on a glass candlestick look beautiful.

You can come up with a silhouette applique that will encircle the entire jar along its circumference.

Small details of the applique do not need to be cut out of paper, but can be completed with a black marker. The candlestick jar itself can be painted in Blue colour(with a foam sponge and blue gouache mixed with white).

Silhouettes can be cut out of white paper. The result is a light and delicate decorative candlestick made from a tall glass.

New Year's candlesticks

FROM GLASSES.

Also, excellent candlesticks for the New Year are made from glass glasses with legs.

The glass container itself can be decorated inside with branches of evergreen shrubs (for example fir). Instead of candles, you can put a New Year's garland with LED lanterns inside tall large glasses-vases and mix the garland with Christmas decorations, cones, glass beads.

Ideal candlesticks for low candles-tablets and thick candles-barrels- these are UPPER GLASSES. The flat base of the leg serves as a convenient stand for stable candles.

Under the dome of an inverted glass place new Year decoration– these could be sprigs of holly, silver cones, paws of pine needles or multi-colored bugle beads.

Small decor at all no need to painstakingly slip it under the glass– just pour glasses into the bowl, cover with cardboard, turn the glass upside down with the bowl and stick the cardboard out from under it.

The stem of the glass, like the metal walls of tablet candles, can be silvered or gilded with sprinkles. It's easy to do at home - apply glue and sprinkle with glitter(if you use PVA glue, it can be easily washed off later hot water). Or use Polish for hair– quickly spray and quickly sprinkle with glitter, sprinkle on top again.

You can buy ready-made glitter for sprinkling on your nails or cut the fringe of a shiny fluffy Christmas tree garland into small pieces yourself.

Side parts of candles you can also decorate like this glitter sprinkles. To do this, pour the sprinkles onto paper. CANDLE SIDEWALLS heat over gas burner and the candle, softened from the heat, is quickly rolled over the glitter filling - the soft sticky wax absorbs the sparkles, and the candle becomes elegant and New Year's.

It is better to match the color of the sparkles for the candle to the color of the decorations under the dome of the glass (as in the photo below).

You can arrange a real piece under the dome of the glass New Year's fairy tale(as in the photo with candlesticks below). It's easy to do it yourself - on round piece of white cardboard(or foam plastic) glued Christmas tree craft(bought or made from paper or plasticine) - place a snowman or figurine of another New Year's character. Pour glue and sprinkle with white salt to imitate snow. Cover this round craft with an inverted glass. It turns out to be a magical New Year's candlestick.

You can paint New Year's glasses-candlesticks in winter shades of paint and decorate them with pine cones and snowflakes (paper or purchased).

To paint a glass at home as evenly as in the photo with candlesticks below, you need to use not a brush, but a foam sponge with small pores (preferably a sponge for applying foundation). With such a sponge you can convey a uniform flow of color from light to dark.
I described a detailed master class of this process when I painted my nails using the same technique in the article "Gradient manicure."

You can paint any New Year's character on the glass with paints - and we will get bright candlesticks in the form of snowmen, or Santa Clauses, or deer.

Or you don’t have to turn the glasses over. And lower tablet candles into them on special brackets.

You can twist such staples yourself at home from flexible copper or aluminum wire. This kind of DIY work is exactly what is shown in the photo below.

You can hang a candle-tablet on brackets inside a very high vessel - and then the bottom of the vessel can become a place for decorative composition(as in the photo of the New Year's candlestick below).

New Year's candlesticks

WITH FLOATING CANDLES.

Also, candles can not be hung inside the container, but lowered into the water. To do this, the shape of the candles should be cone-shaped or rounded at the bottom. This way they will float calmly on the water.

Such floating candles can be found on sale and purchased. Or do it yourself - break the candle, remove the wick thread from it. Place the pieces of wax in a saucepan over low heat (or in a water bath) and melt the wax until liquid state. Place the wick into a mold with a round or cone-shaped bottom - fill the wick with liquid wax - cool until the wax completely hardens in the mold. Remove the candle from the mold, slightly heating the walls of the mold.

Or you don’t have to bother with liquid wax. And immediately cut out a conical bottom from a solid thick candle with an ordinary knife (work as a sculptor).

New Year's compositions with candles.

You can use a wide stand – a dish or a vase – as a candlestick and place several candles on such a candlestick at once, interspersing them with New Year’s decorations.

You can pour artificial snow or plain white salt, sugar, powder into the stand.

As a New Year's candle stand, you can use ordinary low wooden box for seedlings. And decorate it with natural materials (moss, cones, spruce paws).

The body of the candlestick can become an ordinary wooden log. We drill large holes in it, where we insert tablet candles (or sections of thick candles).

You can also bake a candlestick from edible gingerbread honey dough. That is, bake a round gingerbread with holes for tablet candles. And to go with it, bake smaller gingerbread cookies with the shape of houses, Christmas trees, and trees. We decorate the gingerbread houses with a pattern of sugar icing and dry them. We also pour the large gingerbread candlestick with sweet sugar icing and place the gingerbread Christmas tree houses on the sticky icing.

Gingerbread dough is distinguished by the fact that it does not go stale for a long time, and such a sweet gift-candlestick can be devoured by the whole family after death. New Year's holidays.

You can find the correct recipe for gingerbread dough in the article about gingerbread houses.

These are the ideas with New Year's candlesticks you can now make with your own hands. It's nice when you can create a piece of the New Year's holiday around yourself.

Therefore, in this article we will talk about how to make a New Year's candle holder from a jar.

How to turn a simple jar into an original candlestick

In order to make a candlestick from an ordinary jar, you need to make a template in advance. The template is cut out of paper and the design should be drawn on the outside of the jar. To ensure that the template fits the size of your jar perfectly, you need to measure the circumference. The template you see below needs to be downloaded to your computer. But before you print it, you need to guess its size. The picture needs to be enlarged or reduced. The cut out template should be joined together.

It is worth saying that you should place the template only with outside banks. You should not install it inside the jar. To make a candlestick you need to prepare:

  • Glass jar.
  • Black paint. Ideal in this case would be acrylic, which is used for decorative works. You can also use special acrylic paint on glass.
  • Small synthetic brushes in sizes No. 2 and No. 4.
  • Wide flat brush - flute. The flute hairs should not be soft, but should have elasticity.
  • Acrylic paint white in a can.
  • Isopropyl alcohol spray and dry cloth.
  • A piece of wire. (It will be needed to make a handle for hanging the candlestick).
  • Cardboard box.
  • A small candle. In this case, the candle should not stick out from the jar. Perfect option That's what tea lights are for.

Step-by-step instructions for creating a candlestick from a jar

DIY New Year's candlesticks from jars very easy to do. Here we will offer you step-by-step instructions and photos of such crafts. But first, it’s worth telling everything about the creation of such a craft.

  1. So, first of all, you should wash the jar with plain water and soap. Be sure to remove all labels from it.
  2. The outside of the jar needs to be wiped isopropyl alcohol. Remember that paint adheres better to a degreased surface.
  3. Now you should prepare a template. It should be inserted inside the jar. You need to capture the template in a jar. He shouldn't ride inside the can. For example, you should use a guitar string for this purpose. This will allow you to press the template tightly against the walls of the jar. You can also glue the template with small pieces of tape to the side of the jar.
  4. When working, you need to hold the jar with your hand. And the place where you will hold it with your hand needs to be wrapped with a napkin.
  5. The drawing should be outlined with black paint. Use a thin brush. If the entire design is transferred to the surface of the jar, the template can be removed from the jar. Now paint over all the planes that are inside the drawing.
  6. It is worth saying that the first layer of paint will be uneven. And some places will be translucent. But remember that this will be normal. The first coat of paint must dry. After it dries you need to apply next layer. After applying the second coat, the jar should dry.
  7. Now it’s time to make a hook for a candlestick from a glass jar. The middle of a piece of wire should be wrapped around the neck of the jar. The wire ring should fit tightly on the neck of the jar. The ends of the wire should be bent upward. They should be twisted tightly together. Their height will be 15-20 cm from the top of the candlestick.
  8. The jar must be placed inside a cardboard box. You need the box in order to spray artificial snow onto the jar. And when working, it should be used so as not to stain everything around. Spray snow on the top third of the can.
  9. If another paint is used in the work, then a small amount of it should be placed on a piece of foil. You should take the paint from the foil with the end of the flute. In this case, there should not be a lot of paint on the brush. Now take the brush with one hand, and the bristles should be at the top. Using your other hand, bend the pile away from you and immediately release it. Make sure that the splashes of paint lie evenly on the surface of the can.
  10. When the snow dries, place a candle inside the jar. And if the jar has a decent volume, then 2-3 candles are inserted into it at once.

Finally

Now you know how to make candlesticks from glass jars. Agree that making them is not difficult. But this requires skills and a certain amount of material. Look at all the photo ideas of such lanterns that were made by other craftswomen.
