DIY Christmas Gifts: Etched Candle Holders

 

Supplies

Fast-acting etching cream

Glass candle holders (without any decorations)

Adhesive stencils

Candles

Paint Brush

Drop cloth

Rubber gloves

Procedure

1. Place the adhesive stencils on the glass candle holders and smooth down the edges to prevent etching cream from slipping under them.
2. Inspect all the areas where the etching cream will be applied to ensure that the stencil has no gaps.
3. Put on your rubber gloves because etching cream can cause burns.
4. Place the drop cloth on a flat surface and begin applying the etching cream on the gaps in the stencil.
5. Leave the cream to dry for about 8-10 minutes.
6. Rinse thoroughly in water (with your rubber gloves on).
7. If you are etching different sides of the candle holder, repeat the process.

These DIY Christmas gifts make great decorations for any room. You can add lovely words to warm your friends’ hearts. Each time they light candles in their homes, they will see your sweet messages written on their candle holders. Candles make great gifts and are must-haves in beautiful settings. They bring a lovely glow to any environment and are perfect for holiday parties. For the best glow, use tea lights and put a little rice in the candle holders to keep the lights in place.
