I have a love for all things natural. I have a lot of wood, stone, and shell all around my home.
So when I was at the dollar store with my girls and saw some river rock I had to figure out something to do with it.
I decided to make an easy dollar store candle. I actually like it so much I’m going to make a few more and line them up on the table.
I actually have enough river rock and candles to make several of these. I just need to buy more candle holders.
I bought everything at the dollar tree.
What you need –
Glass candle holder
bag of river rock, glass, or shells
pack of candles
I added the river rock filling up the candle holder, then I dug out a little hole to stick
the candle in. When you light the candle it will melt down into the rocks and when it is finished
I just stick another one in there.
I have made a variation of these in the past with gel candles. I had a bigger candle holder, added some river rock, then stuck another smaller glass candle holder in and put river rock around it.
I poured the gel candle wax around the river rock and put a tea light candle in the small candle holder. You can make it without the gel too but it was a nice finished touch. I made them with pretty glass as well. I bought all of those supplies as Walmart and used them for Christmas gifts.
This craft is so easy and fast that even the kids can help out.
You can find some great crafty things at the dollar store. I do ones like this at Christmas but use cranberries instead of the rocks. So festive! anna (herding cats & burning soup) recently posted..Cat Thursday– Sad Cone of Doom

This is an adorable idea I’d like to try. I need to get on over to our local dollar store!
