Hi again, Live Laugh Rowe readers!  It’s Jill again from Create.Craft.Love!  A lot has happened since I was here last!  My family and I moved to Springfield, MO and I have started a new job.  It’s been a crazy summer so far but I am so excited for this new adventure for our family!  Lots of my crafting gear is still being unpacked but I made something especially for YOU before I packed it away!  I needed something quick and easy to make for a summer get together. These DIY Candle Holders using moss and wire are ideal for summer entertaining!

Wanna make your own Moss and Wire
Wrapped Candle Holders?

Here’s what you need!
Tin cans {found mine at Joann Fabric}
Roll of moss
Floral craft wire
Hot glue gun

Measure the amount of moss you will need to cover the tin can and cut to size.  The moss is very messy.  Make sure you do this over a trash can.

moss-wire-candle-holder-measuring-mossUse your hot glue gun to adhere the moss to the can.  It doesn’t have to be perfect.  You are only doing this to hold the moss in place.  The wire will secure it further.

moss-wire-candle-holder-gluing-the-mossOnce the moss is glued in place, start wrapping it with wire.  I chose to make mine random instead of uniform.  Wrap it around as many times as you like.  I think I wrapped mine about four times.  Trim the extra wire off.  Then wrap the two ends around each other to secure it.

Warning:  I photographed these without glass around the candles.  If you are going to light the candles, they should be safe behind a glass hurricane of some sort.  Moss is highly flammable and I don’t want anyone catching on fire.  You are not Katniss, girl on fire…hee hee
