Upcycle old CD into Beautiful Beaded Candle

"Do you hate to throw out old CDs or DVDs? We have turned ours into beautiful beaded Christmas candle decorations. The old compact discs are great at catching the light as are the transparent plastic beads we used. This decoration features a candle stick with two different flame ideas. The candle stick is surrounded by a Christmas wreath complete with red holly berries courtesy of some round red beads. They are surprising simple to make and real eye catchers when they sparkle in the light."

If you enjoyed making the Upcycle old CD into Beautiful Beaded Candle craft, you might also enjoy creating these festive Christmas projects:

1. Upcycled Christmas Ornament Wreath: Gather a mix of old ornaments in various shapes, sizes, and colors. Use a wire wreath frame as a base and attach the ornaments using hot glue or floral wire. Add a big bow at the top for a finishing touch. This wreath will look stunning on your front door or as a centerpiece on your holiday table.

2. Glittery Pine Cone Garland: Collect pine cones from your backyard or local park and give them a festive makeover with glitter spray paint. Once dry, string the pine cones onto a piece of twine or ribbon to create a sparkling garland. Hang it on your mantel or staircase for a touch of woodland charm.

3. Mason Jar Snow Globe: Fill a clean mason jar with faux snow, mini bottle brush trees, and a small figurine (like a snowman or Santa). Secure the lid with hot glue and flip the jar upside down to create a whimsical snow globe. Add a festive ribbon around the rim for a polished look.

These crafts are not only fun to make, but they also add a personalized touch to your holiday decor. Happy crafting!
