I am in love with candles. Especially the small tea light candles, they are so warming and welcoming!

I had a huge collection of small cups (metal base) in which you lit a candle. Therefore came up with the idea of reusing them to make a candle holder and to use them to lit even more candles in the house. Basically, it will be a never-ending process.

These candle holders are so easy to make and don't require much time as well as materials and tools. So, let's get started!

How to make handmade Lotus flower candle holder?


Materials and Tools you will need:
1. A glue gun
2. Metal base from used tea light candle
3.Card board or CD or Thick Plastic Base (choose whatever is available by your hand)
4. Hammer or a Rolling Pin

You can see how many are there

Press two sides of the metal base towards the center. Press it with hand  from behind. Then roll it with rolling pin or use hammer. Both works just fine. Take each of the petal which is form and then paste them on the base. Below I have show both the samples. To make it more pretty, you can paste the bases one over other till you get the final result.

Using CD as base Using Cardboard as Base

Now your holder is ready to use. Lit a candle and place it in a holder and enjoy!
