As you can see, I decided to tightly pack this article with crafts and candlesticks for every taste – children’s and adults. Therefore you can find here craft options for children and ideas for serious adult candle holder gifts for the New Year. Let's start making beautiful New Year's candles with our own hands.
Candlestick made from bushings
from toilet paper.
Here is our first chic New Year's candlestick, made in the shape of a star. It seems like something factory-made, bought in a store. But in fact it is possible do it yourself at home with children. This star candlestick is made from cardboard, rolled into rolls. That is, we need to roll rolls from cardboard (or take ready-made toilet paper rolls). We will need 7 rolls and one round paper(a disposable paper plate will do).
And now I'll tell you HOW to make such a New Year's candlestick YOURSELF.
HOW TO MAKE THIS STAR CANDLESTICK with your own hands.
STEP 1 - The point is that each ray of a star is a roll, which at one end flattened TOP-DOWN, and from the other end flattened LEFT TO RIGHT. We fix the flattened area with a stapler or glue. As a result, we get a volumetric ray of the future star. We make 6 such rays. D
STEP 2 – Next, take a circle of paper (or a paper plate), the diameter of the circle should be such that it can accommodate all the rays of the star in a circle. We place them with the flat, flattened side on the edge of the round (plate). Glue all the rays onto the edge of the plate.
STEP 3 - Now let's take it 7th roll of cardboard and it must be glued to the center of the plate. To make it stick, cut the desired end of the roll into short and wide fringe– spread the rays of the fringe of the frame (into a sun spread) - and glue it with this spread to the center of the paper round.
STEP 4 - Further take a can of gold paint(or gold acrylic paint in a jar) and cover the entire surface of the craft with gold. You can buy paint at a car dealership or in the construction department of the market (costs 3-5 dollars). Acrylic gold paint in a jar costs 3-4 dollars.
And if you want to get blurs, smudges and frozen drops on the surface of the craft, the same as in the photo - before painting you need to apply it to the craft hot glue from a glue gun and allow him to chaotically cover the surface of the cardboard elements of the candlestick with zigzags and blots. And after hardening, paint it. In the absence of hot glue, you can try regular silicate glue. stationery glue-snot from our Soviet childhood - it is also thick and also hardens in shiny, voluminous droplets (you just have to wait a little longer for drying).
STEP 5 - Next - inside the central roll we stuff the newspaper- so that it is not empty - but do not stuff it to the brim, but leave a recess into which the candle-tablet will become. And then we put a TABLET CANDLE on this compacted newspaper inside the roll.
STEP 6 - And all that remains is decorate the rest of the surface of the round (plate) pine cones, balls, beads, shiny garland and other New Year's tinsel.
As you can see, a simple photograph - if you look at it carefully, it will tell you how to do the same thing with your own hands.
New Year's candlesticks
ANGELS.
We make these angels from plain white paper. And then we cover the entire craft with gold spray paint. Spray paint cans are sold at any hardware store or automotive supply store - they are not very expensive (about 3-5 dollars).
You and your children can make this angel craft. From a paper cone. To prevent the craft from catching fire from the candle flame, we will make this lamp without a live fire, and place a regular New Year’s glowing garland inside the cone. This will make a children's gift-candlestick for a grandfather or grandmother - they will be happy to light it in the evenings on New Year's days for many years.
Paper candlesticks WITH SLOTS.
You can make an elegant New Year's candlestick from an ordinary sheet of paper rolled into a tube. The paper will not catch fire because the hot air from the candle freely escapes into the socket of such a paper lampshade-candlestick.
And if you are concerned about fire safety, then you can place a tall glass glass inside such a paper roll and place a candle in it.
By the way, to light a low candle-tablet AT THE BOTTOM OF A TALL glass you can use regular spaghetti pasta. They are long and burn well - we light such a spaghetti torch and calmly lower it to the candle wick at the bottom of the candlestick. Very comfortably.
Here is a master class below, which shows a step-by-step master class on making such candlesticks with slots - just in the New Year theme: with Christmas trees and stars.
First, cut a piece of paper – with height to the height of the glass, and with width, sufficient to encircle the circumference of the glass and overlap the edges for gluing.
On a sheet of paper we draw the lines of the boundaries of the axial rod of the drawing. At the same distance from each other.
On both sides of the drawn borders we draw the outlines of Christmas trees and stars.
We make cuts along the drawn Christmas trees, but do not reach the center lines of the borders with scissors.
Paper candlesticks
WITH PERFORATION.
You can make punctures rather than slits on the same roll of paper. Such perforation can be filled with a regular nail - if you place a sheet of paper on a semi-hard surface (for example, a sheet of foam plastic) and simply drive the nail in with a hammer at the points drawn in advance. This is how a candlestick with a snowflake in the photo below was made with your own hands.
You can wrap the glass so that puncture marks are not visible from the outside. And make sure that the perforation has holes of different sizes. To do this, we take nails of different cross-sectional diameters. With thick nails we will get large holes, with thin nails we will get smaller ones.
The main thing is to think in advance and draw with a pencil our pattern of large and small dots on the future New Year's lamp.
And you don’t have to make just a pattern of snowflakes. You can use the same principle to pin the silhouette of a Christmas tree, deer, snowman, Santa Claus and other New Year's characters.
You can fold a sheet of paper not into a round roll, but into a tetrahedral socket. And decorate each of the four edges with the same white New Year's appliqué.
The back side of each hole must be sealed with tissue paper (translucent tracing paper, or oiled white paper) - that is, the material that will transmit light. Very beautiful and delicate lamps for the New Year.
To prevent such a craft from igniting from a candle flame, the top must be left without a roof. Or, instead of a candle, put an LED Christmas tree garland inside. You will get a beautiful candlestick-gift - both a garland and a lampshade with delicate paper carvings.
You can cut paper blanks in the shape of a house. In the same way, use tracing paper or oiled paper to secure the openings of the cut out windows and doors of the houses.
New Year's candlesticks
IN THE QUILLING TECHNIQUE.
You can make candlesticks from paper twists made using the quilling technique. Let's look at how to make such a candlestick with your own hands - using the example of a blue New Year's candlestick from the photo below.
STEP 1 - To do this, colored double-sided paper is cut into narrow strips. Each strip is wound around a rod (or toothpick).
Then this twist is removed from the toothpick and placed inside a round stencil-hole on a geometric ruler - and within the boundaries of this stencil the twist is allowed to unwind - to the size of the stencil hole.
STEP 2 - Next, take the twist out of the stencil and glue its tail to the twist barrel. We make a lot of such modules - in two sizes, larger and smaller (that is, we adjust some to fit the small hole of the stencil, and others to fit the large hole of the stencil on a regular geometric ruler).
STEP 4 - And now we make up and glue the candlestick - we take a round candle tablet and glue small round twists onto its side. Next, around this first round dance of round modules we place teardrop-shaped large twists - so that they are light in pairs, forming a heart shape.
You can give this New Year's quilling candlestick a shape with sides. If you place the modules on a small paper plate with raised edges, or a jar lid.
From quilling twist modules you can come up with any designs for New Year's candlesticks. In the form of a snowflake, a New Year's Christmas wreath.
You can also use an ordinary voluminous paper snowflake as a simple candlestick with your own hands. Cut out and place under a tablet candle.
Candlesticks for the New Year,
crocheted.
Here's a way to create a candle holder for those who know how to crochet. To do this, you can take any pattern of a knitted snowflake or a knitted star.
You will find many patterns of knitted snowflakes in my article
Candlestick
from a plastic bottle.
And the most free material for a New Year's candlestick is an ordinary plastic bottle. We throw them away anyway, so why not turn them into Christmas lights.
Cut off the straight central part from the bottle. Cut pointed petals from one side of the pipe. And bend them to the sides. Paint the lamp a light golden color. Apply star stickers. Spread the edges of the petals with glue and sprinkle with silver sprinkles - you can make it yourself if you finely trim the shiny pile from a fluffy Christmas tree garland, or cut a Christmas tree rain.
You can come up with your own candlesticks from a bottle - any shape and complement them with any decor - borders made of bright ribbon, snowflakes, colored glass stones, etc.
New Year's candlestick
from a glass jar.
The simplest candlestick from a jar is made quickly and easily with your own hands. From masking tape (which we use to cover windows for the winter), cut out a silhouette, such as a star. Stick it on the side of the jar, and paint the rest of the surface of the jar with gouache (white is best). To prevent the gouache from sticking to your hands after drying and staining your clothes, spray the top of the painted jar with hairspray. Next, remove our star sticker from the masking tape and get a finished New Year's candlestick made by yourself.
The silhouette sticker can be anything perfect - a snowman, a penguin, a snowflake, or a deer with branchy antlers.
You can also decorate the border of our design with sprinkles; to do this, apply some edge along the edge of the silhouette and sprinkle shiny sprinkles on top of it (I described what to make it from in the previous candlestick).
You can buy gold-colored acrylic paint at the stationery store and use a thin brush to outline the edge of the silhouette-hole on the candlestick. And even make some kind of festive inscription on the silhouette itself. It turns out to be a bright jar-candle holder - and by the way, you can pour white beans into its bottom and drown the candle in it.
You can implement the principle of a silhouette hole on a candlestick jar not with paint - but with paper. That is, cut out the desired picture on a strip of paper in advance and wrap the candlestick jar with such paper. As in the photo with the New Year's craft below.
You can cover the entire surface of the jar with green pieces of napkin (buy green paper napkins, or green crepe paper); it is thin and fits well the smooth curves of the jar.
It’s easy to glue - using PVA glue - and it’s better not to buy a small tube from an office supply store, but to go to a hardware store and immediately buy a half-liter jar of PVA - you’ll succeed 4 times cheaper. I do all my children's crafts with this glue. It lasts a long time and is always fresh, but in jars it constantly dries out.
So... we cover the jar with PVA glue and put chopped pieces of green paper on top of it - due to the fact that the pieces will be layered on top of each other, we will get such a chipped polygonal green pattern. And then, to give all this green chaos a New Year’s recognition, we’ll simply paint here and there (or add red paper) circles of holly berries.
The same red balls of berries will decorate our next New Year's candlestick. Here we cover all the walls of the jar with snow. We make it from ordinary salt or sugar (or finely grated polystyrene foam)
Cover the sides of the jar with glue and roll in white sprinkles on the table. When dried, we decorate with a string under which a green twig (for example, a spruce foot) or a green string of textile ribbon is inserted. And in the middle we attach a bunch of berries. It can be beads strung on wire and painted in red gouache (or nail polish). Can beads mold from plasticine and cover them with nail polish on top for shine and color. Or you can take large foam balls.
If you are good at drawing, you can simply draw a New Year's design on the side of a glass jar and you will get an elegant candlestick. You can not put a candle inside the jar, but put a New Year's LED garland - and then the jar will sparkle with several lights at once.
You can find ideas for New Year's drawings on a jar in my article
You can also simply APPLY a silhouette in a New Year’s theme to the surface of the jar - like a decorative applique decoration. This applique can be easily and quickly made at home - find suitable pictures on the Internet and cut out the desired silhouettes from colored paper.
you also can copy directly from this screen silhouette of a deer. Simply place a sheet of paper on the screen and use a pencil to trace the image that is visible on the sheet. To reduce or enlarge the image on the screen, simply roll the mouse wheel forward or backward, holding the cropCtrl on your keyboard.
Multi-layered applications on a glass candlestick look beautiful.
You can come up with a silhouette applique that will encircle the entire jar along its circumference.
Small details of the applique do not need to be cut out of paper, but can be completed with a black marker. Before pasting with such an applique, the candlestick jar itself can be painted blue (with a foam sponge and blue gouache mixed with white).
Silhouettes can be cut out of white paper. The result is a light and delicate decorative candlestick made from a tall glass.
New Year's candlesticks
FROM GLASSES.
Also, excellent candlesticks for the New Year are made from glass glasses with legs.
The glass container itself can be decorated inside with branches of evergreen shrubs (for example fir). Instead of candles, you can put a New Year's garland with LED lanterns inside tall, large glasses-vases and mix the garland with Christmas tree decorations, pine cones, and bugle beads.
Ideal candlesticks for low candles-tablets and thick candles-barrels- these are UPPER GLASSES. The flat base of the leg serves as a convenient stand for stable candles.
Under the dome of an inverted glass we place New Year's decorations - these can be sprigs of holly, silver cones, pine needles or multi-colored bugle beads.
Small decor at all no need to painstakingly slip it under the glass– just pour glasses into the bowl, cover with cardboard, turn the glass upside down with the bowl and stick the cardboard out from under it.
The stem of the glass, like the metal walls of tablet candles, can be silvered or gilded with sprinkles. It's easy to do at home - apply glue and sprinkle with glitter(if you use PVA glue, it can be easily washed off with hot water). Or use Polish for hair– quickly spray and quickly sprinkle with glitter, sprinkle on top again.
You can buy ready-made glitter for sprinkling on your nails or cut the fringe of a shiny fluffy Christmas tree garland into small pieces yourself.
Side parts of candles you can also decorate like this glitter sprinkles. To do this, pour the sprinkles onto paper. CANDLE SIDEWALLS heat over a gas burner and the candle, softened from the heat, is quickly rolled over the glitter filling - the soft sticky wax absorbs the sparkles, and the candle becomes elegant and New Year's.
It is better to match the color of the sparkles for the candle to the color of the decorations under the dome of the glass (as in the photo below).
Under the dome of the glass you can arrange a real piece of a New Year's fairy tale (as in the photo with candlesticks below). It's easy to do it yourself - on round piece of white cardboard(or foam plastic) glued Christmas tree craft(bought or made from paper or plasticine) - place a snowman or figurine of another New Year's character. Pour glue and sprinkle with white salt to imitate snow. Cover this round craft with an inverted glass. It turns out to be a magical New Year's candlestick.
You can paint New Year's glasses-candlesticks in winter shades of paint and decorate them with pine cones and snowflakes (paper or purchased).
To paint a glass at home as evenly as in the photo with candlesticks below, you need to use not a brush, but a foam sponge with small pores (preferably a sponge for applying foundation). With such a sponge you can convey a uniform flow of color from light to dark.
I described a detailed master class of this process when I painted my nails using the same technique in the article "Gradient manicure."
You can paint any New Year's character on the glass with paints - and we will get bright candlesticks in the form of snowmen, or Santa Clauses, or deer.
Or you don’t have to turn the glasses over. And lower tablet candles into them on special brackets.
You can twist such staples yourself at home from flexible copper or aluminum wire. This kind of DIY work is exactly what is shown in the photo below.
You can hang a tablet candle on brackets inside a very tall vessel - and then the bottom of the vessel can become a place for a decorative composition (as in the photo of the New Year's candlestick below).
New Year's candlesticks
WITH FLOATING CANDLES.
Also, candles can not be hung inside the container, but lowered into the water. To do this, the shape of the candles should be cone-shaped or rounded at the bottom. This way they will float calmly on the water.
Such floating candles can be found on sale and purchased. Or do it yourself - break the candle, remove the wick thread from it. Place the pieces of wax in a saucepan over low heat (or in a water bath) and melt the wax until liquid. Place the wick into a mold with a round or cone-shaped bottom - fill the wick with liquid wax - cool until the wax completely hardens in the mold. Remove the candle from the mold, slightly heating the walls of the mold.
Or you don’t have to bother with liquid wax. And immediately cut out a conical bottom from a solid thick candle with an ordinary knife (work as a sculptor).
New Year's compositions with candles.
You can use a wide stand – a dish or a vase – as a candlestick and place several candles on such a candlestick at once, interspersing them with New Year’s decorations.
You can pour artificial snow or plain white salt, sugar, powder into the stand.
You can use a regular low wooden box for seedlings as a New Year's candle holder. And decorate it with natural materials (moss, cones, spruce paws).
The body of the candlestick can be an ordinary wooden log. We drill large holes in it, where we insert tablet candles (or sections of thick candles).
You can also bake a candlestick from edible gingerbread honey dough. That is, bake a round gingerbread with holes for tablet candles. And to go with it, bake smaller gingerbread cookies with the shape of houses, Christmas trees, and trees. We decorate the gingerbread houses with a pattern of sugar icing and dry them. We also pour the large gingerbread candlestick with sweet sugar icing and place the gingerbread Christmas tree houses on the sticky icing.
Gingerbread dough is distinguished by the fact that it does not go stale for a long time, and such a sweet gift-candlestick can be devoured by the whole family after the New Year holidays have passed.
You can find the correct recipe for gingerbread dough in the article about gingerbread houses.
These are the ideas with New Year's candlesticks you can now make with your own hands. It's nice when you can create a piece of the New Year's holiday around yourself.
Connect the kids- they will be very pleased to help you in such a serious matter as the New Year. Children should create crafts with their own hands - this is a prerequisite for the development of a personality confident in their strengths and abilities. Children must have an EVIDENCE BASE of their omnipotence and success. Let the children see in practice that they CAN make such beautiful and complex crafts THEMSELVES. Let them grow up realizing themselves as CREATORS of this world. And then one day you will be able to be proud of their ADULT achievements.
Happy New Year to you. Let happiness enter your family. The magic of happiness made with your own hands. And let the light of the candles transmit its radiance to your eyes.

Varieties of candlesticks made from glasses
There are many options for how glasses can be used as candlesticks.
Candlestick made from an inverted glass
The simplest among them is to simply turn the glass upside down and place a suitable candle on the base of the stem. In this case, the glass can be decorated by wrapping a rope around it, a white lace border can be glued to the base, and textile flowers of the same shades can be glued above it. The candle itself, which will be placed on the stem of the glass, can also be tied several times with a tourniquet; overall, the result will be a very beautiful composition.
A very simple, but at the same time very elegant candlestick can be made if you create a decorative composition of cinnamon sticks and spruce branches, fresh flowers and leaves, berries, and Christmas tree balls in an inverted glass. To make such a candlestick more convenient, you can glue a CD to its base, thus removing the hole in the glass.

Candlestick with floating candles
A candlestick with a floating candle would be a very romantic option. In the middle you can place decorated balls, rose hips, flowers, twigs, Christmas tree needles, sea pebbles, fern leaves, then fill with water, and place a small candle-tablet on the surface.
With beads and stones
Incredibly delicate and beautiful candlesticks will be obtained if you place mother-of-pearl beads in a glass and install a candle. The glass can be filled with absolutely any decor that matches the theme of the evening; these can be sea pebbles and shells, dry maple leaves, twigs and acorns. It will also look very original if you make several small layers of different grains.
What else can you make candlesticks from:
Candlestick with lampshade
A very original candlestick from a glass, you can make it yourself in the form of a table lamp. To do this, you need to cut out a lampshade from thick colored paper, glue it and put it on a glass with candles. Thanks to the conical shape, the lampshade doesn’t even need to be fixed. Such an unusual lamp can be additionally decorated with any decor, such as braid, rhinestones, flowers, appliqués.
Ordinary glasses can be used not only for their intended purpose, but also to create incredibly beautiful candlesticks from them. We have selected for you design options for candlesticks made from glasses and will tell you how to make them.
To create a candlestick you will need a glass with a stem; there are options where a candlestick can be made from an ordinary glass.
You can decorate not only wine glasses, but also any objects that serve as a good basis for creativity (jars, transparent glass vases, saucers, glasses). It’s quite easy to make New Year’s candlesticks from glasses with your own hands. You need to familiarize yourself with the basic technologies and give free rein to your imagination.
To magically transform simple dishes into real works of art, the simplest components are used. The decor can be found in any home or purchased for pennies in a store.
DIY candlesticks made from glasses for the New Year: simple decor on glass
We select glasses or cups. Clean and wipe dry. Using a brush and regular PVA glue, we draw patterns. These can be ornate curls, snowflakes, inscriptions, funny figures and more. Fantasy should not be limited.
Now traces of glue are covered with ordinary kitchen salt. Pour salt into any container and carefully roll the glass. After removing the excess loose decor, the glass is sent to dry.
You can coat the glass entirely with glue and roll it in coarse salt.
Using different types of salt, from coarse Epsom salt to colored sea salt, you can get very unusual and colorful examples of candlesticks:
If the soul requires brilliance and luxury, the ornament on the glass is complemented with buttons, rhinestones, pebbles or quilling snowflakes.
Another option to brightly decorate a glass is to use paints. You should be extremely careful, especially with bright, intense colors, since one extra stroke can ruin the whole idea. Using a brush and any type of paint, we gradually paint all the details.
Not a bad idea: paint the glass surface with fir branches. Emerald lines with a textured salt coating will look very impressive.
The easiest way to make New Year's candlesticks with your own hands is to coat them with glue and dip them in glitter. It turns out very beautiful and original.
Selecting the appropriate filler for homemade candlesticks
DIY New Year's candlesticks made from wine glasses can be decorated not only outside, but also inside. After all, the original filler will look original, meeting practical needs.
As a filler for candlesticks you can use:
- Any natural materials, the texture of which will be combined with the main idea of the design (sand, clay, pebbles, expanded clay or even crushed stone);
- Any types of cereals (buckwheat, wheat, millet, flakes, peas). To create a “perfect white” or “snowy” candlestick, rice is suitable because of its natural texture and color. An original idea is to choose interestingly shaped pasta and paint it white. Such a “flour” filling will look simply amazing;
- Coffee beans will “play well” in compositions with spruce branches (they will repeat the texture of wood);
- Beans, pumpkin seeds and other seeds can be effective fillers for individual design ideas;
- Peels from grapefruit, lemon, tangerines and oranges can be an excellent fragrant base for a candlestick. In addition to the magical aroma and pleasant appearance, such a filler will also create a unique New Year’s atmosphere;
- Filling with beads, beads, pebbles, pearls and other similar decor will look completely original and “rich.” In this case, the ornament on the glass should be minimalist so that the “glamorous” contents of the glasses and wine glasses can be clearly seen.
The base of the candlestick is filled with the selected filler and the candle is placed. Spectacular and original candlesticks made from glasses with your own hands are ready for the New Year.
Original candlesticks made from inverted glasses
In any home you can find old wine glasses and glasses that have lost their “marketable” appearance. They will be the ideal base for a future hand-made masterpiece.
The dishes are thoroughly washed and dried. The large glass is turned over. Any decor can be placed inside the glass cap. For example: Christmas tree decorations or candies, cookies, nuts.
Using double-sided tape we decorate the edges of the structure. At a minimum, the adhesive strip frames the top, bottom edge and “waist” of the glass. We attach a New Year's snowball to the indicated zones. Add a little glue to the top of the glass (in our case, the stem) and carefully place the candle and tablet. In principle, candlesticks made from glasses with your own hands are ready.
You can make your home candlestick more colorful and original by combining technologies. For example, areas free from New Year's glitter can be decorated with salt patterns or a scattering of beads and rhinestones can be glued on.
The decor will turn out more delicate if you use other materials instead of “snowball”. Here are some options:
- Textured lace. It is possible with uneven edges, but be sure to have a clear outline and distinct texture;
- Paper garlands. They should be miniature and neatly executed. A scattering of cut out snowflakes should cover the entire adhesive surface, but not stick out in different directions;
- Satin or silk ribbons. The decoration will be bright and quite elegant;
- Natural decor. For example, rose petals, dried leaves.
If you put stones in a glass and add a little essential oil, then when heated, a pleasant aroma will emanate from the candle.

But glasses can be decorated not only with balls. A whole Christmas tree can fit there! By the way, if you use plastic glasses (and it turns out there are those too), you can make beautiful

In general, painting glasses gives the widest possibilities - look! Do you want Santa Claus candlesticks, do you want snowmen, everything is limited only by your imagination.
And another winter option - with a floating candle. Or you can do it with a regular one, but placed on spruce (any coniferous) branches.
And now I propose to move from winter to summer! Look how wonderful the glass candlesticks with fresh flowers look!
A very beautiful option for romantic summer evenings - with shells and sand.
And here is a glass candle holder for autumn.
And also, I suggest you look at another option for turning a glass into a beautiful candlestick - using a paper “lampshade”. At the same time, you can change the “lampshades” according to your mood and the color scheme of the table decoration.
I hope that you will find a suitable and inspiring glass candle holder, and making your own will not be the slightest difficulty.
