Thanks for joining me on day 15! Other posts in this series can be found here

Lots of people will probably get a few of these. I have been saving our bottles for several months now so we have plenty to go around. The chakra lovers amongst my friends will all recieve a set of 7 in the appropriate colours. Most of the work actually goes into decorating the bottle. The picture above has simply been covered in little bit of tissue paper. You can also wrap lace or ribbons around the bottle or use an etching cream to etch designs into the glass.

You will need wire, a pair of pliers, a little bit of sand or fine gravel, a bottle, and a candle. Here I used a fairly wide mouthed bottle that fits a tealight but I have also use glass ketchup bottles with a fairly narrow mouth and used Hannukah or birthday candles.

Bend the wire to form a base for your candle

bend the remainder of the wire up and straighten it out

Place it in your bottle and fiddle with the base until it sits flat

bend the end of the wire into a pretty looking shape or make it into a hook to hang pretty beads from and you're done!

If you use a tall candle you will need to build a cage so it doens't fall over. The candle above is a hannukah candle

Now, go raid your recycling bin and make pretty candle holders!
