How to make a New Year's candlestick with your own hands step by step with a photo?

For the base of the candlestick, we prepared a small glass mini-jar from under baby food with a volume of 0.080 l. We remove the lid - we will no longer need it. Next, we create outer surface jars of unusual texture using sea salt. To do this, carefully paint over the walls of the jar with PVA glue,

leave the applied glue for 2-3 minutes so that the glue becomes more viscous,

and then sprinkle these areas with sea salt.

As for the size of the crystals, better fit salt of medium and large fractions to get multiple beautiful refraction of light.

To avoid bald spots, repeat the procedure again. After that, the texture of the candlestick will become more dense and uniform.

The neck of the jar for the most decorative look also decorate large crystals sea ​​salt.

The base of the candlestick is ready, now you can start decorating it.

We fold the segment of the twine in half, tie the neck of the can with it, and form a bow from the tips. Cut off the excess cord.

Glue to the bottom of the bow spruce twigs.

So that they do not crumble and last as long as possible, they can be processed acrylic varnish and then dry thoroughly. You can also use artificial twigs. We decorate the center of the composition with several artificial bright red berries or beads.

We complement the middle of the bow with a miniature star made of tangerine peel.

Many people associate the New Year with a lot of lanterns, lit candles, sparkles, tangerines and Christmas decorations. Well, where there are festive candles, there should be elegant candlesticks. You can make fabulous candlesticks with your own hands for the new year, which will delight the household and create a warm, cozy atmosphere.

To create such a decoration, it is enough to take a transparent vase, wine glass, glass or glass stand, place a candle of any color suitable in size inside. Don't forget to put some melted wax on the bottom to secure the candle well. By placing candlesticks on a windowsill or a ceremonial table, you will create a unique fairy-tale atmosphere.
  2. Transparent glass with trim. This option is more complicated than the previous one, since here we will decorate ordinary glassware or jars with festive decor. It can be lace, ribbons, sequins, braid, bows or patterns. You can also cut out figures from plain paper and glue on glass. Keep your decor away from the edge of the jar to avoid fire.
  3. From polyurethane foam. Candlesticks can be made with your own hands for the new year and from polyurethane foam. We need old items in the form of small containers that need to be finished with foam on the outside. We let the structures dry for a day, at the end you can cut off the excess with an ordinary knife, giving the candlestick the desired shape. Then you can paint the resulting decoration in any color or decorate with sparkles, glitter, pebbles and bows.

Candles in this design must be installed on metal stands so that the festive decoration does not catch fire. Stands can be cut out of cans on their own, it is better to mark candles short and stable.
  6. Snow covered. Candlesticks can be made with your own hands for the new year, using painting. We will need acrylic paints, brushes and a transparent glass container. First you need to degrease the jar, and then proceed to create a New Year's drawing. You can depict snow-white houses on a blue background, snowmen or a beautiful Christmas tree. On the neck, you can create an imitation of icicles with glue or wax. Also, glitter, pieces of cotton wool or beads can become decorations.

  8. Citrus. Use tangerine or orange zest and cut additional holes in it. Try to carefully remove the zest so that you can easily place the candle. A dried slice of orange, cloves, cinnamon sticks and star anise can serve as a decoration. This decor will give a unique citrus aroma, reminiscent of the upcoming holiday.
  9. Floating lights. To do this, we need a wide beautiful container where you need to pour water and place small candles. This design is suitable for creating a romantic and mysterious atmosphere in the room. Outside, such a plate or vase can be decorated with tinsel, ribbons or beads using glue.
  10. Country style. The photo below shows how to make such candlesticks with your own hands for the new year. This design will give a feeling of closeness with nature, make the atmosphere in the apartment cozy and comfortable. To create such a candlestick, we need ordinary thick candles and thick ropes.

  11. Festive tin. In a jar, you can cut out any pattern and ornament using a sharp clerical knife. From above, we cover the future candlestick with a layer acrylic paint, you can additionally glue the handle to make a festive flashlight.
  12. Decorate candles. A candlestick can also be created using coffee beans, dried berries, beads or nuts. To do this, we only need a small glass or metal stand where we place the candle.
    From below we fix all the decoration with glue and let it dry. It turns out something like a New Year's application.

Unusual ideas

With the help of modern fresh ideas you can create candlesticks for every taste with your own hands. Here are the original ones:

  • From plastic. Candlesticks can be made from a plastic jar or bottle with your own hands, which is just right for the new year. Cut off a plastic jar or bottle upper part, at the bottom you can cut out petals, a beautiful ornament or lace. We paint the container dense layer acrylic paint, decorate with glitter or beads.
  • Glass lantern. We need a common glass jar, paint and masking tape. From masking tape cut out any figure (asterisk, heart, deer, snowman, etc.), glue it on a jar, paint on top with a dense layer thick paint. When the paint is completely dry, carefully remove the masking tape, place the candle inside, and the New Year's lantern is ready.
  • In the form of angels. Figurines of angels need to be made of thick paper, covering such beauty on top with paint from a spray can of golden or silver color. Paper angels can be created different sizes and shapes, and candles are suitable for both conventional and safe LEDs.
  • Paper cones. To create such a candlestick, we use multi-colored thick paper sheets. On paper, we mark the fold lines of the cone with a pencil, draw figures of Christmas trees, stars or hearts at the same distance, make cuts without finishing. Then we twist the sheet of paper into a tube and fix the edges with glue. Creating candlesticks with your own hands for the new year is shown below in the video master class.
  • Dot perforation. You can decorate a New Year's candlestick not only with curly cuts on paper, but also with small punctures. Thus, you can create any pattern and depict any pattern. In this case, carnations, a sharp awl or thick needles are used. On thick paper, first we outline the boundaries of the future pattern, make holes, and then turn it into a cone. Here, by the way, figures of Santa Claus, snowflakes, deer, stars or dogs will come in handy. Sometimes such candlesticks are made in the form of a house, depicting a roof and snow-covered windows. It makes a very nice Christmas present.
  • Quilling. This technique involves the creation of paper twists. various shapes and sizes. To create such a candlestick, you will need multi-colored paper, cut into thin strips. We wrap thin pencils, pens or toothpicks in stripes. Then we place the resulting spirals inside small cones-blanks, give them any shape with our fingers (for example, pointed petals) and fix with glue. We glue such twists together, creating a small circle. You can use elements of different sizes and colors, arranging them with each other. We use beads and sparkles as decoration, put a candle in the middle and an elegant quilling candlestick is ready.
  • CDs. Candlesticks can also be made from disks with your own hands; such a decoration for the new year is suitable for Hi-Tech, Futurism, Modern or Loft style. To implement this idea, we need several CDs, glue and New Year's holiday decor at your discretion (twigs, sparkles, artificial snow, ribbons, beads, etc.). We place a candle on the disk, fix it with glue or wax, around the candle around the perimeter of the disk we begin to glue the decor.
  • Knitted decor. This design is suitable for crochet lovers. Use a star or snowflake template. It turns out an original candlestick in the style of Hand-Made, which can be presented as a New Year's gift.
  • Cinnamon frame. Use cinnamon sticks to create a New Year's candlestick. To do this, simply glue the cinnamon to each other in a circle, place the stand with the candle inside, and the candlestick is ready. Outside, the sticks can be decorated with strings and a bow, dried berries, star anise or cloves can be glued. You can also cut out figures from orange peel or glue dried slices of tangerine or orange.

Knead the dough (flour, sunflower oil, salt, soda, water) and gently roll out. Now it remains to cut out the New Year's figures, you can use templates or cut by eye. To prevent the dough from breaking and cutting easily, do not forget to periodically moisten it with water. We put a small candle in the center of the resulting figure and press lightly to create a notch. Then we leave the dough candlesticks to dry on the windowsill, after which they can be painted in any color. Artificial snow, beads, sparkles are used as decor, and you can also draw a beautiful ornament or patterns yourself.
  • Country option. If you decorate country house or an apartment in American or Country style, you can use a wooden snag or log as a candlestick. AT skillful hands even these items will get nice shape and become great addition to the interior. Small recesses can be made in them, where small candles are later placed. Use spruce branches as decoration, Christmas decorations or beads. This layout will create warm atmosphere home comfort. In this case, even an ordinary snag can become a work of art, and everyone can make such candlesticks for the new year with their own hands.
  • From sea salt. Sea salt crafts are very popular when creating New Year's decor, as they resemble snow-white snowdrifts and ice crystals. To create a candlestick, it will be enough to paste over any container for a candle with sea salt. At the same time, you can turn on the fantasy by creating various New Year's figurines or icicles.

How to make candlesticks

Decided to decorate your house for your favorite holiday? simple and effective method- play with light. Live flickering candle will create a mysterious atmosphere and give good mood. In the flame of a candle, all problems and worries gradually disappear, and even a small mess is not so noticeable.

To create a mysterious atmosphere, prepare a lot of candles. They are also easy to make yourself. Consider the lighting in the room where you are going to meet the next year.

First, let's check the old stock. Is it possible to do something with them? Enhance the look of old candle holders with snowflake napkins, drapery in elegant embroidered fabric, or fine glossy paper. You can wrap them with ribbons, lace or shiny tinsel, paste over with rhinestones.

Nice to watch floating candles. You must have an old transparent vase or a crystal salad bowl, which has long gone out of fashion. You can decorate the edges with toys or small pine cones.

Now pour water into the salad bowl and lower the candles into it. Add small spruce branches, rowan and petals to the water to make your creative composition the main decoration. holiday table. Candlesticks can be made from unnecessary things that are uselessly stored on our shelves. They are even edible. Don't believe? Then move on to the next sections of the article.

Fragrant from fruits

In search of improvised materials for our device, we go to the kitchen. Original candlesticks we will try to make from fruits. Prepare them right before the celebration. Fruit candlesticks will give a beautiful unusual radiance and delicate aroma.

Take bright apples, grapefruits or oranges. Fruits should be bright, pronounced round shape. Cut them in half and carefully remove all the pulp with a spoon.

Draw a simple pattern with a marker or pen, cut out all the excess along the contours using nail scissors. There should be a lot of "holes" to provide an outlet for light.

Place a candle in the center of each half. Can do closed version, covering it from above with the second part.

Decorate fruits with small sprigs of fir, buds, rhinestones. Use toothpicks to attach rowan berries and tiny toys.

From waste jars

For these purposes, we use any jar - from the smallest (for baby food) to a liter. The originality of future candlesticks will emphasize unusual shape banks.

The most elementary way to use a jar is to simply turn it over, throwing a piece of elegant fabric on top and placing a small candle on the bottom.

Consider creative candle holders from cans that will become a work of art. Let's try to decorate cans with the kids. Let's take:

  • colored markers;
  • gouache;
  • nail polish of different shades;
  • PVA glue;
  • brushes.

If you are decorating jars with markers or nail polish, no preparation is required. Take and draw different Christmas stories on them - snowflakes, Christmas trees, garlands, snowmen or just intricate abstract patterns.

If you are going to decorate jars with gouache, prepare them for painting. Cover the container with glue and let it dry, then the paint will “stick” to the glass better. Draw the outlines and color the shapes with bright hues.

Entrust painting to your child and do not try to correct his work. The result will definitely exceed your expectations! After the gouache has dried, cover it with a transparent varnish. If not, use hairspray. It is applied so that the paint does not peel off and does not contaminate the hands.

Another interesting painting technique is stained glass paint. It is designed for drawing on smooth surfaces. This is good idea and for Christmas decorations.

Pre-draw the pattern with a marker on the bank. Then circle the outline with black paint, then leave it to dry for half an hour. Fill the space with any bright colors and leave to dry again (dry for several hours).

We insert the candle into our jar - the pattern begins to flicker with colored lights. A liter container with a wide mouth can be half filled with water. The candle will float, and the light from the jar will shimmer and fill the room with warmth.

Do you want to celebrate the New Year outside the city? Arrange your glowing decorations along the paths, on windowsills and trees. Bright colored lights will create a wonderful mood.

How to make a candle house

You could see small "houses" for candles on store shelves, but they are completely devoid of originality. Let's learn how to make such decorations using simple master class. To do this, prepare:

cook salty dough: mix a glass of flour and salt, pour in a tablespoon of any vegetable oil and enough water to knead the dough. The final consistency should be like clay. To make colored dough, add paint to the mixture.

Now let's start building the house. Wash the paper container thoroughly to remove milk drink residue, dry it and cut off the bottom. Cut out a few windows and leave a hole for the pipe.

Next, lubricate outer wall at home with glue and start rolling small sausages from the dough. Here you can involve your child - he will cope with the task. We do this with all the walls, not forgetting to leave the openings for the windows uncovered.

Now roll out a rectangle to make a roof. We glue it to the walls. Next is the case behind the door and shutters. Near the house you can install any figurine - Snow Maiden or Santa Claus. For large items we use glue, small ones are slightly moistened with water.

The resulting composition is dried in the oven at a very low temperature. When the work has dried, it can be decorated with any paints. Top coat the house with varnish. Put a small candle inside it and it will glow soft light, and real smoke will quietly come out of the pipe!

This is not a mandatory set, you can improvise and use whatever you find in your Christmas decoration box.

  • Making a candle holder using metal cover or narrow glass. In the first version, we glue the button on the lid to fix the candle. The glass itself will cope with the task, supporting it with its walls.
  • Now we make out a stand for the whole composition. For it, you can use a piece old board or plywood. We smear it with glue on all sides and apply foil.


We paint cones

  • In the middle of our board with foil we set a stand for a candle. We lay out cones, twigs, toys around. When the resulting composition takes on an attractive appearance, we begin to glue the objects.
