DIY Fourth of July Celebration Candles by Champagne and Sugarplums

We recommend using a battery operated candle as they can be a little safer but still provide a nice glimmer of light. However, you don’t really need a candle at all if you just want to add some festive décor to your celebration, since these candle holders stand out all on their own!

What You’ll Need:
  • Glass candle holders with ridges
  • Red, white and blue washi tape
  • Sharp craft knife

Firstly, begin by placing stripes of blue washi tape onto the side of a glass candle holder, lining it up to the edge of one of the ridges. Use a sharp knife to cut the washi tape down to the space between the ridges.
