July 4th Painted Candle Holder

Put a twist on the traditional 4th of July crafts and try making these July 4th painted candle holders with instructions from Terri O. Get your glossy paint and glitter ready!

Materials:

• 3 Terra cotta pots 4 to 6 inch size
• Acrylic paint in red, white & Blue
• Dimensional paints in glossy and glitter
• Brushes
• Citronella candle in a holder    

Instructions:

1. Paint the terra cotta pots in different colors. One red, one blue etc. With the dimensional paints add the stars or any other ideas you might have.
    
2. To protect your design so you can use it again next year coat the outside with a water based sealer. Let dry.
    
3. Make sure you only use candles that are in a holder. The wax will melt into your pot and ruin your terra cotta if you don't.
