Bring on the COLOR!


One of my favorite DIY projects this month was the colorful, bold candle holders! These candleholders are made of terra cotta garden pots! I love it, a straightforward idea! And they are cost-effective and look perfect for any table setting!

DIY Flower Pot Candleholders will need:

  • terra cotta pots of any size with a fitting saucer.

*I used 3- 4" & 2- 5.5" with lids that fit the bottom found at Michaels here

  • acrylic paint & paintbrush

  • spray clear coat

  • waterproof E6000 glue

  • pillar candles of choice

NOTE...You can paint these with an all whitewash or crackle finish to give

more of a farmhouse look.


Step 1- paint 2 coats Step 2- let dry completely




Step 3- unmatched glue lids on pots. Step 4- Spray clear coat.



Step 5- Fini! โค๏ธ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™

I have a covered outdoor dining area, and I always wanted some hanging light fixtures. The ceiling is high, and I needed something weatherproof. I hoped to find something of a metal or bronze style with simple, clean lines giving a beachy/farmhouse feel. Since the price points weren't ideal for my budget, I came up with my DIY Chandelier. I love how it turned out!
