Simple Candle Centrepieces - Stones


Here's another idea of a simple idea for candle accents you can use in home.. This will take only a couple minutes to put together. Here's the second one.

Small Stones 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
  • Glass stones, imitation stones or real stones
    • Keep the size relative to your candle holder
  • Tea-lights or small-medium sized candles (as many as you need to match the number of votives)
Steps:
  • Place the candle in the centre of the votive.
  • Divide the stones among all your votives, filling them about half way.
You're done! It's a very simple DIY to do and you can play around with many different colours that can compliment the room. For a more natural look, stick to neutral or earth coloured candles (beige, cream, moss green, brown, etc) and use real or realistic imitation stones.





Want drama? Pair white or black candles with bright fuchsia or turquoise glass stones. The combinations are endless, just look around your craft stores (Michael's) or dollar stores and see what you can find.

Tips:
  • Keep candles in odd numbers
  • try 3 different sizes of candles
  • use complimentary colours for great contrast (opposite on the colour wheel like yellow and purple or orange and blue)
