Simple Christmas Cloche Candle Holder

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Gorilla Glue Company for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

I love this time of year! Although this native California girl would be happy to live in a warmer, snow-free state the rest of her life, I admit that I love the way fresh-fallen snow looks. Snow is pretty inevitable in Maryland during the winter, so I should probably just embrace it.

I DID have a lot of fun creating these little wintery scene Christmas cloche candle holders this week. They are the perfect reminder to me that snow can be beautiful and peaceful and festive (and not only cold, messy, and slippery!).

I couldn’t have made these easy Christmas cloche candle holders without the help of Gorilla hot glue sticks! They were the perfect tool to create my fun little craft. We use hot glue for lots of projects around the house, but I must say that I was surprised at how quickly and easily these cloches came together. Each cloche took about 10 minutes to create, start to finish! I was thrilled with how the finished Christmas cloche candle holders turned out.

You’ll be amazed at how easy these were to make! I picked up some cheap stemmed glasses and a few other supplies, and my project was done in about 30 minutes, start to finish!

Supplies Needed:

  • 3 stemmed glasses of varying sizes
  • 3 short and wide candles
  • Small trees and other figures that will fit inside the glasses
  • Fake snow (small styrofoam balls)
  • Firm cardboard
  • Gorilla Hot Glue Sticks
  • Hot glue gun
  • Scissors, pencil

Simple Christmas Cloche Candle Holder craft from Food Fun Family Instructions:

1. Turn each glass upside down and trace the shape with a pencil on your piece of cardboard; cut out the circles. Lay out “winter scenes” with trees and figures to see what will fit best inside each over-turned glass.

2. Use Gorilla hot glue sticks and your hot glue gun to attach your trees and figures to the cardboard circles.

3. Fill each upturned glass with a small amount of fake snow. Simple Christmas Cloche Candle Holder craft from Food Fun Family

4. With the “scenes” sitting on a flat surface very close to the corresponding glass, run a consistent bead of hot glue along the entire circle. Quickly and carefully turn it upside down and place on top of the matching glass, Press gently but firmly so that cardboard circle adheres to the glass. Run another bead of hot glue around the outside of the glass where the cardboard and the lip of the glass meet. Let dry upside down.

5. Repeat for the remaining glasses. Allow the glue to cool completely before turning the glasses upside down (your cute winter scene will now be right side up!). Shake gently so that the fake snow falls to the “ground” of your cloche.

  8. Very Cute! My Aunt Candy makes these along with tons of other stuff. I wish I was as artistic and she is.. Ive tried stuff before and it looks like a 4 year old made it when its all said and done. Thank you for sharing!!

  10. Your Christmas Candle Holders are beautiful!! So creative, and we all have Christmas stuff to make our own everywhere around the house, but I love what you used and how they came together! Merry Christmas!!

  18. Gorilla glue definitely comes in handy for holiday crafts including making wreaths and ornaments along with repairing broken decorations. I love your idea of making candle holders/little snowglobe scenes out of wine glasses. We will have to try that next year.

  19. I only use Gorilla glue on everything, for my crafts, repairs around the house or cute ides like this one, I am going to try it,

  26. Being on a very tight budget, I always find it embarrassing to show up empty handed on Christmas day. However, These can be made on a dollar store budget, and are adorable. I think my kids and I might try a last minute project. Thanks so much for the idea!!

  32. I love the idea. I have this really pretty cut glass jar that came with peanuts in it. I didn’t want to throw it out, but I didn’t have anything to do with it. I think I want to try something like that in it.

  36. These are so adorable! Ive been looking for a unique crafting idea and I think I’ve found it! Im going to run out to Michaels and grab the supplies to make a few of these with my older daughters :)

  44. We live in the middle of no where Idaho. My mom sent me this and said before you come home from college couldn’t you hit a few dollar stores and find the stuff to make these. Really MOM!

  45. My wife asked me to check this out because she wants to make them for a centerpiece for Christmas Dinner. I am pretty sure she can handle it but I will be happy to help.

  54. I think your Christmas cloche candle holders are gorgeous! I did not know that Gorilla made Hot Glue Sticks. I need to get some as my kids and I love to do crafts especially Christmas crafts! Thank you for this wonderful giveaway and Merry Christmas!

  64. This is the cutest idea!! I have to go get busy making them with the wine glasses I was going to donate! I’m not sure how we accumulated so many but I’m glad I ran across this blog! Thank you!

  71. Those are quite pretty. I like the little scenes inside, and how versatile they can be. I think these would be really fun to personalize for each family member. They would also make great gifts. So pretty, and you could even use vintage glasses you might only have one or two of left. I would use fancy thrift shop finds.

  76. How cute are these! I’m not much of a champagne drinker and just tossed a bunch of these glasses into the shed for a future garage sale….gotta go get them and make these! Thanks for a great idea and an awesome giveaway!

  81. This is such a cute idea. I have several glasses that I could do this with that are just sitting around gathering dust. The kids would love to get involved.

  91. This is like so adorable and creative. I definitely will be trying this. Thank you for the new craft idea. Thank you for the opportunity

  94. This is such an amazing idea! It’s such an elegant yet inexpensive way to display your candles for the holidays. Most importantly, it makes the perfect gift for all the wine connoisseurs that may be on your list.

  96. This is such a cute craft! I agree, Gorialla glue is super strong! I have used it to sill back missing tiles on our floors.

  99. Great craft idea! This is something different and nice for the dining room So easy to do too! Very inspirational. Thank you.

  112. Thank you for this awesome craft idea! It’s the perfect project for me to do with my Grandkids. They make great gifts for them to give their Mom, Dad and other Grandparent for Christmas.

  149. These are so cute.
    We do a lot of cosplay costumes and that requires a TON of Gorilla Glue. Sometimes I wish they sold it by the 5 gallon bucket so I could quit making middle of the night trips to Walmart for more.

  150. I have always been drawn to miniatures and miniature scenes. I’ve not seen any like these, I love them and will try them this season. I’ll need to get out for a new bottle of Gorilla Glue. I use it up quickly around here.

  154. What an amazing craft and it would be great for the kids and I to do over the holidays! I love GORILLA GLUE it will hold anything!
