Grab a plastic egg and a paintbrush & reproduce this DIY

Tea lights add ambiance to any room, but on their own, the candles can look a little cheap. A handmade holder gives the candles a more refined appearance and makes it easier to move them to different spaces in your home. This project transforms plain plastic eggs into adorable holders in just three steps, so you can make a whole set to grace your table or scatter around the room.

The bottom of a plastic egg is the perfect size to hold a tea candle. A bit of twine and a small log slice give the holder its rustic charm, but you could modify the project to suit any style. For a beachside vibe, consider using a seashell instead of a log slice and a piece of thin, white ribbon. An agate slice would also be a beautiful base for this sophisticated holder.
