  Step 1

  You probably already have this stuff lying around at home. Bring it out.

• 

  Step 2

  We went to the dollar store and bought some glass candle holders/& some unlabeled candles.You can also get them at Michael's or your nearest craft store.

• 

  Step 3

  and then of course tissue paper...pretty cheap.

• 

  Step 4

  then go to your printer and print out stuff you like. Make sure its the size of your glass candle holder, this way it looks la-jet when you paste it onto the glass.

• 

  Step 5

  now cut out your piece of tissue paper a little bit smaller then your glass.

• 

  Step 6

  cut out your print

• 

  Step 7

  now paint the mod podge onto the candle holder, its ok if it white it will dry clear.

• 

  Step 8

  This is the hard step: make sure you CAREFULLY place the already cut tissue paper onto the candle. NOTE: if you handle to rough the tissue paper will tare and leave finger prints.

• 

  Step 9

  now paint your print with some podge too.

• 

  Step 10

  and paste the picture on top of the tissue paper that is already on your candle holder.

• 

  Step 11

  now podge all over the entire candle holder. Like I said before its ok that it turns white, it dries clear.

• 

  Step 12

  wait a few hours and let the glue dry...

• 

  Step 13

  light your candle and tada you have your cool looking candle holder...

• 

  Step 14

  all done...now go make your own!

I LOVE these!!!! I was looking for something like this for my lounge, so thankyou so much for posting the how-to cause it's saved me a bunch of cash now I know how to do it myself!
Just a couple of questions though - I am in the UK and I haven't been able to get Modge Podge anywhere (so I'm presuming they don't sell it over here!?) - is there anything similar that could work? PVA glue maybe?
Also, can you use regular tumbler glasses or high-ball glasses; or do they have to be special candle glasses (sorry if I sound dumb but I dunno if they're a different thickness/type of glass)
Thanks again!
