I’m constantly looking for fresh ideas to jazz up prayer candles. This fun DIY Glass Candle Holder Decoration is easy to create and perfect for celebrating the 4th of July. This budget-friendly design requires only a few supplies and ten minutes to make!

Can you believe the 4th of July sneaked up on us so fast?

With the weather being unusually chilly, it doesn’t even feel like summer. Regardless of our unusually cold weather, I’m thrilled to dive into this exciting 4th of July project. And guess what? This craft isn’t limited to Independence Day—it’s perfect for any time of the year! Pick your favorite image, attach it to a glass candle holder, and enjoy your newly styled candle.

But before we dive into the project, I must mention that a few of my blogging friends are joining me. They are sharing their 4th of July crafts as well.

How to Make This DIY Glass Candle Holder!

Supplies You’ll Need

  • Glass White Candle
  • Printable

Candle Instructions

Step 1 – Print Out the Image and Prep the Candle

Buy the printable here. Then print out a small Fireworks image.

Prep your candle by removing the sales sticker. If you need to remove the sticky part, I used the Goo Gone product.

Step 2 – Cut Out Image

I cut out my fireworks image and left a white space surrounding the image. I tried to cut roughly the shape of the image.

Step 3 – Place Tape On the Image

Place the tape on the image, and the sticky side will be face down. Trim the tape around your image, leaving enough of the tape so it will stick to the glass candle container.

All the starburst stickers are cut out and ready to attach to the white glass candle.

Step 4 – Place the Image on the Candle

Now place your little labels on your glass candle. And finally, add baker’s twine ribbon to the candle if you like.

Decorating a Candle Holder Tips

Decorating a candle is pretty simple. There are only a few things that you should know before embarking on this little DIY project.

  • Not all of these prayer candles are the same. I saw online that some do not have glass containers, and the flame melted the container. Here’s a link to the ones that look nice, and I think they are the ones I purchased.
  • Not all packaging tape is equal, either. So, here’s a link to some thick and substantial clear tape.

Where to Buy Your Candles

Here are a few places you can find the candles!

  • Amazon
  • Grocery Stores
  • Target


I’m totally into decorating and crafting candles. In fact, I’ve whipped up a few candle projects myself. If you’re curious and want to dive in, check out these awesome posts:

Happy 4th of July to you all!

Cheers,

    Janine! These are so adorable! I always have white religious candles on hand, but have never done anything besides maybe a little jute twine! You always have the prettiest projects!
