Cute and Inexpensive Candlesticks

Materials needed:
  • 1 small jar lid (from instant coffee or similar size)
  • 1 pill bottle (without its cover)
  • various types of pasta such as bows, twists etc.
  • craft glue
  • white paint
  • sparkles if desired.
Directions:

Turn jar lid opening facing down. Glue bottom of pill bottle right side up to centre of jar lid. Place various types of pasta around base of pill bottle and a few up the sides a bit. After the glue is dried; paint the whole thing. While the paint is wet a bit of glitter may be added. Place a bright red, yellow or green candle in the holder and nobody will ever know how "frugal" this candlestick really is.

Sounds cute, but keep a good eye on it and don't let it burn down into the plastic part.
