The holiday season is the perfect time to share heartfelt, handmade gifts with loved ones. This year, one of my favorite DIY projects is a festive candle holder made with bells and pine—a charming addition to any Christmas décor!

Materials You’ll Need:

• Glass candle plate: Mine is XX” in diameter, purchased from the Dollar Store.
• Bells: Also from the Dollar Store.
• Pine branches: Snipped from a discounted swag I found at a craft store (trimmed for a shorter, more balanced look).
• Spray paint: I used Farmhouse White in matte—it was the only matte white I could find, but any color that matches your holiday theme will work.
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks.
• Optional holiday candle: Glade candles fit perfectly and come in a variety of festive scents!

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Spray Paint the Candle Plate
Start by spray-painting the glass candle plate. I chose a matte white to give it a cozy, farmhouse-inspired look. Allow the paint to dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Attach the Bells
Using a hot glue gun, attach nine bells evenly around the edge of the plate. Press firmly and hold each bell in place for a few seconds to ensure a strong bond.

Add the Pine Accents
Next, hot glue a piece of pine between each of the bells. This adds texture and a festive, natural touch to your candle holder.

Finishing Touches
And that’s it! You now have a beautiful, festive candle holder that’s ready to gift or use as part of your own holiday decor.

To complete the gift, I paired my candle holder with a Glade candle—perfectly sized and available in a variety of holiday scents to suit any preference.

Why I Love This Gift:

This project is simple, budget-friendly, and customizable. You can experiment with different spray paint colors, add ribbon or other embellishments, or even swap the pine for holly or faux berries. It’s a thoughtful, handmade gift that’s sure to bring holiday cheer!
