Simple Candle Centrepieces - Coffee

I'll be sharing a couple really easy ideas for cute candle accents either on your dining table, living room table or on your balcony. These take only a couple minutes to put together. Here's the first one.

Coffee Candle Votive 
What you'll need:

  • glass votives (as many as you need/want)
    • These are basically little candle holders. Clear glass will work best. Size will depend on the size of the candles you choose
  • Coffee beans
  • Tea-lights (as many as you need to match the number of votives)
Steps:
  • Divide the coffee beans among all your votives, filling them about half way.
  • Place the tea-light on top of the beans, make sure to nestle the tea-lights into the beans to hide the sides.
You're done! It's a very simple DIY to do, and if you decide to use flavoured coffee beans, or scented candles (or coloured) it could really be personalized and set the ambiance. 

Play around with the size of the candle holders and the scents used. I tried hazelnut coffee and vanilla scented tea-lights and they smell and look great.

Tips:
  • Keep candles in odd numbers
  • try 3 different sizes of candles
