DIY Tutorial: Wax Paper Candle Holders

I saw this awesome and super simple idea on designsponge.com, they were talking about it for use in dorms at university because you are not allowed to have real candles. But I think that this can be utilized anywhere and this is definitely and exclusively a flameless tea light candle only project!

These DIY candle holders are a super cheap alternative to fancy candle holders that may be out of your budget. Or you could just be looking for something super unique to have as a holder!

These charming wax paper flameless tea light candle lanterns will add warmth and beauty to your interior (or exterior, because they would look stunning in your garden too!)

Materials Needed:

Flameless tea light candles (NEVER use real candles as it is a huge fire hazard!)
Wax paper
Masking tape to help keep the holder together (if needed)

Directions: (Images below)

Tear a strip of wax paper from you roll. It should be about a foot long. (You can vary the length of the wax paper, depending on how tall you want your flameless tea light candle holder to be)
Fold your wax paper, leaving about half an inch from the top edge.
Repeat step 2 another 3-4 times makig sure that you are leaving an inch from the top of the last folded area.
With the folded layers facing outwards, create a cylinder by bringing each side of the wax paper together, and nest one end withing the folds.
If needed use some masking tape to hold the sides together.
Pop your flameless electric tea light candle inside & you’re all set!

Make 5-10 of them at various heights and group them all together or set them around our garden.
