It seems like I haven’t done a DIY post in a while! Here’s one that won’t disappoint my fellow diy crafters. In fact, you don’t even have to be a Martha Stewart sorta person to nail this.
We all know that when fall approaches, the holiday dinner parties come shortly after. Holiday dinner parties to me translates to great company, scrumptious foods, breathtaking tablescapes, and heartwarming ambiance. Well, I can’t help you w/ great company or scrumptious foods but the latter two, here you go…
There’s nothing better to set the mood (for almost any occasions) than candles. So, why not make your own floating candle holder for those dinner parties that you host every time this yr?
Seriously, DIY doesn’t get any easier than this. PERIOD.
Ok, let’s start off w/ a clear glass vase. EVERYONE owns at least one! And if you don’t, that’s just sinful. Use any type of greenery to be submerged in water. Go outside and pick a branch from your front yard bush if you need to!
Here, I use a fall berry type.
Top w/ your fall blooms of choice. I used orange mums.
Place a candle on top and light it up! I used a regular tealight candle. Floating candles? Such a gimmick!
Make as many as you’d like (in all different shapes/sizes) to create that gorgeous tablescape setting and ambiance! Your guests will never guessed they’re homemade!
Enjoy your dinner parties!

I am going to recreate this, it’s so chic, modern, and pretty. Also, may I just say, I usually am totally against adding ID marks like watermarks or signatures to images, but yours are the first ones I’ve seen that I don’t mind

Cool idea! I’m thinking about doing this for my wedding, but my venue doesn’t allow candles. Do you think it’ll still look good? Also, does it matter what kind of flowers you use when dealing with water? If so, any suggestions for yellow or blue/purple ones? Thanks!

weninroam… http://www.dollartree.com has battery-powered tealights 3/$1. i used those. i simply used a hot glue to attach the candle near the top & no water just foliage. worked great!

Weninroam- I think they can still look pretty w/o candles but instead of using square taller vases, I would opt for round lower glass bowls. This way, you don’t need the greenery at the bottom just floating flowers on top. For yellow ones, I would go w/ either roses or carnations. For purple flowers, I would suggest orchids. Have fun diy-ing for your wedding! Best, Kellie

I never considered that a regular tea light candle can float!
This is a good DIY candle holder, it gives a warm autumn feeling.

Thanks! I didn’t think of tealights either until I didn’t have any floating candles on hand, so tealights had to do it and they worked fine!
