Transform Dollar Tree Candlesticks Into Elegant Floral Decor To Elevate Any Space

Floral displays bring a burst of color and life to any space, instantly creating a sense of warmth and beauty. Whether you arrange fresh flowers in a vase or use faux flowers to create a stunning floral accent piece, adding a floral touch can elevate the look of a room. At the core of every imaginative floral display is creativity, which makes designing them incredibly enjoyable. 

A store where people find affordable items to create these nature-inspired displays is Dollar Tree. From vases to textured tumblers, Dollar Tree offers a wide variety of items to create beautiful flower presentations to help you decorate your home with flowers. Often, multiple Dollar Tree items can be combined to make truly unique flower displays. One such DIY involves attaching two candle holders together and placing a foam crafting ball on top to hold silk flowers. This creates an elegant, high-end-looking floral display. All you need for this project is two candle holders, one crafting ball, some faux flowers, and a hot glue gun.

This Dollar Tree floral display can be customized in a number of ways, from painting the components to changing up the florals, and will add a touch of color to any space in your home. This DIY will look great as an entryway piece to welcome your guests, on a nightstand to add elegance to a bedroom, or on a side table to add a pop of color to a neutral-toned living room. This display can even be made in multiples and used as table centerpieces for large events.

To start this project, apply hot glue to the top of a candle holder. Then, place another holder, top side down, on the ring of glue, so the two narrow top ends are glued together in the middle. You should now have a unit with a broad base and a wide top. Then, use your hot glue gun again to apply glue to one side of a foam crafting ball, and press it onto the top of the unit. When the glue dries, cut your faux flowers short and stick them into the foam ball. If you don't have a hot glue gun, a heavy-duty adhesive, like Gorilla Glue, will work.

When it comes to customization, the limit is your imagination. You can customize the type and color of the flowers, using tricks to make the artificial flowers look real. For a sunflower-themed event, for example, you could make several of these flower displays and use only faux sunflowers. For weddings and other upscale events, roses can be used instead. You can even make seasonal displays using this method with mums and autumn leaves for fall or poinsettias for winter. 

Another way to customize your Dollar Tree faux flower display is by painting the candlesticks. To do this, prepare the candle holders by cleaning them with rubbing alcohol. Then, you'll apply paint that's made to adhere to glass. You can make your flower display a solid color or paint a solid base coat and add designs of a different color using a fine-tipped brush. To add an element of soft lighting to this DIY, short lengths of LED string lights can be added to each display. Or, add ribbons and other embellishments to match the design.
