CELEBRATIONS: Thread Wrapped Candles

I saw some string wrapped candles in a catalog recently and thought what a great idea it was to jazz up some plain candles for a festive celebration.

This is such a budget friendly way to create a colorful centerpiece for a fun celebration. Everything I used for this project, I had on hand. The candles were purchased after the holidays on clearance. They’re Hanukkah candles. Larger than birthday cake candles and they come in a variety of colors and styles.


Just wrap some thread or string around each candle in a random pattern. You can melt the ends of the thread to the bottom of the candle to secure them.


The candle holders are made out of corrugated cardboard. Simple cut a strip and wrap them around the candle base. Secure the end of the corrugated cardboard with a strip of hot glue.

Add some fun knick knacks that you might have. These are some fun bobble head animals from my son’s room.

And it wouldn’t be a festive celebration without a little confetti.

Super fun and colorful. These would be a colorful addition for a birthday party, Cinco de Mayo celebration or just about anything.

{As with any candle, never leave unattended}
