Snow
Covered Votives
Candle Crafts
These snow covered votives give a beautiful, warm effect when
lit with a candle. The outside of the plain glass votive holders are
decorated with fake snow. Votive holders can be found at the dollar
store, or at thrift shops and garage sales. Get creative, because this
project can be used on all different types of glass containers. Try
this on a small wine glasses and place a candle inside, for a beautiful
effect!
Things needed to make
gel wax candle holders:
- Two wine glasses
- Two glass votive holders (a simple style
is best, and make sure it is small enough to nest nicely inside the
wine glass)
- A container of gel wax
- A small saucepan
Things Needed:
- plain
glass votive candle holders
- decoupage
medium, such as Mod Podge
- paintbrush
- imitation
snow (the flaky type, found in
craft stores during the Winter months)
- paper
plate
1. Begin the by shaking out some of the imitation snow on a paper
plate.
 
2. Give the votive holders a nice thick coat of decoupage medium, then
dip the sides of it into the imitation snow.
 
3. Allow the snow to dry on the votive holders very well before
proceeding to the next step.
4. When the votive holder is completely dry, follow with another very
thick coat of decoupage medium, over all of the snow. Allow this to dry
for a couple days. After about two days, the decoupage medium will turn
clear instead of white and give a beautiful frosty snow effect!
