Dollar Store Decor + How to Make Hurricane Candle Holders

Here is an idea for dollar store decor and something easy you can make for only $2!

Well I’m a total copycat. I’ve completely ripped off this idea and I fully admit it.  How to make hurricane candle holders. You’ve probably seen them around at Sarah’s who saw them at Emily’s. Or perhaps you caught them by Robin or Melissa. See how that works? We’re one big crafty blogging family 🙂

This infamous total-cost-is-two-smackers project that will add some serious glamor to your space. We’re talking $50 glamor, because that’s how much the other versions cost at some of the stores you might be familiar with. After seeing these across the blog-o-sphere, I had a sudden urge to run out and get the supplies to make them. There’s only 3 items you need to make hurricane candle holders, or more depending on how many you want to make.

Let me get right to it – How to make hurricane candle holders, also know as dollar store decor!  My supplies are dollar store candle sticks and glass hurricanes. $1 each friends, it can’t get any cheaper.

Plus some sort of glue. Some people use hot, some use guerrilla glue, I used Liquid Nails Clear Small Projects Silicone Adhesive (affiliate link).

After I washed and dried each piece I glued the pillar holders onto the bottom of the hurricanes. You can turn them upside down or keep them right side up, however you like, but let them dry overnight. This is important if you use the liquid nails. I’m not sure about the other adhesives, but the nails needed overnight drying time.

Don’t even try to test them 20 minutes later, they will still be wet and will move, so let them sit. But the next day you’ll have fabulous $2 hurricanes.

My fiance didn’t know what a hurricane was, I had to explain 🙂 But he loves them, I got a high five. His exact words were “$2? You saw that on a blog didn’t you? Keep reading blogs.” Of course!
