I was so happy with how the easy copper candle holders I made last month turned out, when I saw these cute stemless wine glasses in the Target Dollar Spot I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them.

Why not turn the glasses into beautiful tea light candle holders too? And of course, I reached for the concrete again.

I am a huge fan of concrete lately. The rustic gray tone is so pretty.

It is perfect for farmhouse decor, or rustic decor, or  industrial decor, or even modern decor. I just can’t get enough.

Maybe it’s because I am so happy that we finally got our concrete patio poured that concrete is giving me all the happy thoughts 😉

This fun concrete project is so easy to make.

Seriously! Sooooo easy.

And the concrete is mostly fool proof because you are putting it in a container. So if your concrete isn’t mixed to the perfect consistency, your candles will still work. Yay!!!

These tea light candle holders turned out so good, I ran to Target to grab another set of stemless glasses to make more!

I am thinking I will use them on my mantel, or maybe for DIY gifts this Christmas. Maybe I should run back and grab a few more… they were only $3 per set.

How to Make Concrete Tea Light Candle Holders

Supplies:

All you need is a couple supplies to make these concrete tea light candle holders. Housefulofhandmade.com

Mix together enough concrete to fill the base of your glasses.

You want it to be the consistency of natural peanut butter. I used 1 cup of Maker’s Mix and 4 Tbsp of water for my 2 glasses.

Scoop the mixed concrete into your glasses. If you get any on the sides of the glasses, wipe it off immediately with a damp paper towel. 

Tap the glasses a few times on the table to smooth out the surface and release any air pockets.

Then lower your tea light into the center of the wet concrete. Press it into the concrete until the top of the metal cup is flush with the top of the concrete without any concrete getting into the cup.

Since the stemless wine glasses are narrow at the top, I used the back of a pencil to gently push the tea light down.

Now all that is left is to wait for your concrete to cure. The Maker’s Mix doesn’t take too long.

Mine were hard to the touch in about an hour. But the longer you wait, the lighter the concrete will become. I love the light gray look of the concrete in the base of the glass.

Once your concrete is cured, you can light up the candle in your new tea light candle holders and enjoy the soft flicker of the flame.

This is such a great idea! I’ve never worked with concrete, I am very curious. Does the metal tea light holder come out to replace with a new one when candle burns completely?

The metal base of the tea light does not come out, but you can just pop out the left over wax and candle base and pop in a new tea light without the metal. It works super easy!

Are the tea candles easy to replace once they burn down?

You might have to scrape a tiny bit of wax out, but usually they are mostly gone when they completely burn out.
