How To Make A Decorative Candle Holder With Lavender

Before we show you how to make a beautiful candle holder, let’s dig deeper into the properties of lavender. This plant is typical of the Mediterranean landscape and is striking for its purple color and spike-like shape. There are about 30 varieties, among the most common we find Lavandula officinalis and Lavandula angustifolia.

The pleasant aroma of lavender has various properties that are very well known in aromatherapy. In fact, there are several studies that highlight its stress-relieving effects. This is why its essential oil is used in alternative treatments for stress. This effect is due to the presence of terpene alcohols, such as geraniol or linalool.

The various uses for lavender include making detergents and perfumes. It is also used as an ingredient in cosmetics such as facial toner.

First idea for a beautiful candle holder with lavender flowers

To make the first decorative candle holder with lavender flowers, you follow a few simple steps and you will get a very nice result.

1. Cut a piece of wire long enough to wrap around the glass of your choice. The idea is to make little “ears” on each end.
2. Measure the diameter of the jar and cut a piece of the wide satin ribbon that size, then connect the ends with a bit of hot glue.
3. Shape the lavender flowers into a small bouquet that you tie together with the green baker’s twine. Use the hot glue to glue the bouquet to the two ends of the satin ribbon to hide them.
4. Make a bow out of the narrow ribbon and stick it on the lavender bouquet. All you have to do now is put the candle in and your candle holder is ready.
5. Put it in the place of your choice. Be careful with children or pets. If you have a special event at home, you can make several candle holders to place on the banquet table.

Second idea for a decorative candle holder with lavender

Here is the second option to make a beautiful decorative candle holder with lavender flowers yourself:

1. Measure your glass. Remember, it can be recycled: a coffee container, jam jar, or drinking glass. Use to cut the length of the lavender flowers accordingly, making sure that the lower part is flush with the bottom of the glass and that the upper part protrudes a little.
2. Once you’ve cut enough lavender flowers to cover the jar, start gluing them one by one with the hot glue. You should attach them as close as possible.
3. Now you cut off a piece of thin sisal cord and turn the glass over several times. You will then tie a bow to close it. You can use hot glue to hold it in place so it doesn’t fall off.
4. All you have to do is put the candle in and light it whenever you want.
