When it comes to candles and glitter, they are a killer combination. The sparkle really creates a magical effect in candlelight. Jamie of Some of This and That is back with another fun tutorial. She has created these super fun, but inexpensive candle holders using the trays of tea lights. These sparkling flower candle holders can be customized to any color scheme and work great for entertaining.  I could see these candle flowers for a backyard luau or as part of wedding or bridal shower centerpiece. This is a great way to get a custom look for any space.

  1. How pretty the glittered petals look with the light shimmering from the tea light candles! I will do this with red and green glitter at Christmas. Thanks so much for sharing. 🙂
