I’m obsessed with my cheap DIY Easter candles – you can use old plastic eggs, everyone thinks they’re ‘so cute’
A DIY pro showed how to make inexpensive candles for Easter.
Her trick is “so cute” and made from old plastic eggs.
TikToker Macy Blackwell (@macy.blackwell) loves to decorate for the holidays.
For spring 2024, she made egg candle holders.
“I’m obsessed with how cute these are,” she wrote.
“I used some plastic eggs I already had, and got the other supplies from Amazon,” she continued. “So beautiful for your Easter decor.”
For your supplies, you need plastic eggs, two round wooded pieces per candlestick, dowel rods, glue, a drill, candles, and paint or ribbon.
Macy said the first step is to drill a hole in the top and bottom of the egg, and make sure it’s the same size as your dowel rod.
Next, you drill a hole in the center of the wood pieces. It should be about a 1/2 inch deep, she said.
To keep the dowel in place, add some glue into the hole and hold it down.
Then you can slide the eggs onto the rod, glue the top wood piece to the hole, and stick it on.
The final step is to place the candle on top, and you have the option of tying a ribbon around it.
“You can also paint the wood pieces if you want them to be a fun color,” Macy said.
People in the comments section loved Macy’s craft.
“You always have the best ideas,” one person said.
“You’re always hatching eggactly the right ideals for the holidays,” a second wrote.
“That is a great idea,” a third posted.
“Those are so cute,” a fourth added.
