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
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. 
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.
6. Place a candle on the base of each overturned glass. Enjoy!

I love the candle holders they are so beautiful! I use Gorilla Glue for everything, it is amazing!
THIS IS SO CUTE AND I CAN’T WAIT TO TRY IT.
I love doing crafts all year long with my granddaughter and love Gorilla Glue.
We use it all the time and it is super strong
Happy holidays! Thank you so much for the opportunity!!!! My son needs a new bed and this would be wonderful to win!
Thanks for the chance at the gift card. You have a very informative blog
I love your ideas–thanks for sharing. I especially love your use of stemware–beautiful.
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!!
I really like this idea!! Thanks!
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!!
What a cute craft idea.
Thanks for the opportunity to win
Very creative and I love the idea!
The Gorilla Glue is amazing! Tried it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and boy was I impressed!
What a beautiful craft idea!
Beautiful candle holders, I would love to try this.
Thanks for sharing about Gorilla Glue!
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.
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,
cute idea!
Very Nice and creative, so informative that gorilla glue can work on all the surfaces, thanks
happy holidays and thanks for the chance
You have my admiration! What a lovely craft. I am decidedly un crafty but I will pass this post to my mom she’d love it.
Very Unique idea!
Such a fun idea
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!!
That’s a fun craft.
Thanks for the contest.
great giveaway awesome
I love this idea so much! I am going to try it out!
Even a non-crafty person like me can make these.
Very clever! I think this could also be great for other holidays using different items inside the cloche.
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.
I love this idea for a tablescape instead of a traditional centerpiece
What a cute, great idea for a craft project. Thanks for sharing
These are so cute, I’ll have to show my daughter so we can try it for our craft day!
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 :)
Great ideas for hot glue
wow, very creative!
Incredibly cute and creative.
Such a cute craft to make together.
Such a neat idea! I never would have thought to use a champagne glass or wine glass for that!
Very, creative, fun idea!
Good luck to both of you! I’m confident you’ll be able to make some nice centerpieces for Christmas. Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
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!
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.
so cute!
What a fun idea! My daughter would love to make these with me
What a fun idea. I could so see these an a centerpiece for Holiday Dinner.
Love this idea!
I could buy a lot of glue with this
Oh my gosh these are so stinkin’ cute!!! I’m so going to have to make a craft run to pick up the supples to make these!
Very cute!
Love your cute idea

Love using hot glue for my crafts. I love how you turned the wine glasses into beautiful decorations. Thanks for the ideas.
Love it! very great decoration idea!
This is a much fancier version of what my son has done at school before. Like that it serves as a candle holder, too.
I had seen these but after reading I know how to correctly make them! Thank you!!!
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!
Great idea
Great idea! My SIL would love this!
This is so cute! I am definetly inspired to make a few of these for myself and to give.
I enjoy putting together crafts with the kids. Gorilla Glue is my choice to keep them together.
very cute!
These are neat. I think I will try making these when my 6 yr. old granddaughter comes to visit.
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.
I love these candle holders! They are beautiful!
My daughter would have a blast making these. Thanks for the idea.
very clever idea, so easy the girls would love to make this
That would be a great idea! You’ll have to share a picture if you end up making it. :)
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!

These turned out adorable. The kids in the family would love them.
This is a very a unique and beautiful idea.
What a cute craft!
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.
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.
Thanks for sharing. I’ll make this with my son.
Great giveaway in time or the holidays. Happy Holidays all.
