Sand Candle Holder

By , About.com Guide

Instructions to make simple candle holders out of jars and sand.

Materials Needed:

  • Jars
  • Sand
  • Food Coloring
  • Ribbon
  • Glue

Instructions:
Place the sand in a glass or metal bowl and use the food coloring to tint it the desired color (you can also use rice). Fill the jar about two thirds full with the colored sand or rice. (It is easier to store these candle holders if you save the jar lids!) Glue and/or tie a ribbon around the top of the jar. Push a candle into the middle of the jar, pushing it into the sand.
