This is a very easy candle project to make. No gluing or cutting, just collect items for the theme of your choosing and place them on the tray. Sans the caveman references, this is so easy a child could do it. Even the toddlers will love getting involved.
Materials:
- 1 long rectangular tray. (wood, metal, glass, ceramic)
- Assorted color coordinated votives.
- Snug fitting glass votive holders if you plan on burning the candles.
- Assorted “stuff” for decorating around the tray. Dried leaves, cinnamon sticks, beads, flat river stones, glass baubles, pine cones, Christmas ornaments, acorns, trinkets, broken jewelry, fancy buttons, fake jewels and crystals, marbles, etc.
Instructions:
Place the candles in votive holders if you plan on lighting them. Line them up on the tray and decorated with your stuff. That’s as McGyver as it gets!
This quick an easy project is very addictive. Soon you’ll be scouting store shelves and thrift stores for fun trays and even plates. Switch out the colored candles and the stuff to make holiday themes. It’s a great little project for the kids, too. Give them a bag or box so each child can collect their own stuff.
