DIY Coffee Filter Candle Holders

Looking to add a cozy touch to your home decor? Why not try making DIY coffee filter candle holders! This simple and budget-friendly project involves shaping coffee filters to form beautiful, translucent candle holders. Not only are they easy to make, but they also create a warm and inviting atmosphere when lit. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or simply enhancing your living space, these candle holders are sure to add a charming vibe to any room. Get creative with different shapes and sizes to personalize your candles and bring a touch of homemade warmth to your space.

You will need:

• Coffee filters
• Foam Spouncer
• Scissors
• Watercolors, water, tablespoon measure and mixing dish (optional)
• Hairdryer (optional)

Open your package of coffee filters. Take out one whole bunch (should be 50 filters in each bunch).

Flip the inside UP. The bottom filter should now be the top! This helps separate the filters a bit.

OPTIONAL:
Mix watercolors with water. I used 2 dollops scarlet, one small dollop yellow and two big dollops of white. This creates a "salmon" hue.

Spounce the scalloped edges with watercolors. Spounce the top coffee filter, if desired

Let dry. Separate the stacks into five parts. Turn every other stack inside out. This will make the ruffling phase a bit easier. Restack.

If you're using these outside, you may want to sew an "X" through the bottom of the stack. I don't recommend using staples - they'll make it harder to keep the candle standing straight.

Start cutting through the ruffles. Cut on every dip until you reach the non-ruffled center circle. I also added a few extra cuts to create more volume. The more cuts you make, the fluffier the outcome.

Now comes the fun part! Get out your hair dryer and set it on medium/low.The blowing air will help puff up your cut edges!

IT'S SOOO FLUFFY!

Stick your pillar candle in the center.
