Candy Corn Knit Fabric Wrapped Candle Holder

October 13, 2015 by Denise 17 Comments

What I love about crafting is that you can use and re-use old things such as clothing or burned out glass candle holders. Make a candy corn luminary with old knit t-shirts.

Candy Corn luminary

Two of my FAVORITE materials to work with, knit fabric and glassware. Since it’s Halloween time I thought of what to do with my kids’ outgrown t-shirts and my empty, burned down candles in glass. Besides, it’s a great budget saving project since it’s basically free! Here is a candy corn knit fabric wrapped candle holder DIY!

    I love candy corn colors used in decoration this time of year. This is so easy and so much fun, plus I have a ton of both of these materials laying around the house. I can’t wait to try this. My mantle is looking for a makeover. Thanks for linking up to the Sunshine Life Link up again! Love the inspiration I get from you!
