This lovely little candle holder was given to me by a little friend last December. I’ve been planning to write about it ever since. This candle is holder is a great weekend gardening project you can do with your kids.
You will need:
craft glue
an assortment of seeds, beans, dried corn, etc.
an old muffin tin (one you don’t plan to use again for baking
tealight
In a plastic bowl, combine the seeds and beans. Gradually add some craft glue and stir the mixture until the glue evenly coats all the pieces. Transfer mixture to a muffin tin and press lightly so that the mixture takes on the shape of the tin.
Take a tealight and press into the surface of the seedy blob until you’ve made an indentation the same size as the tealight. Allow to dry. White craft glue usually dries clear.
Pop the candle holder out of the muffin tin. You’re done!
This little candle looks pretty in any room of your house, and makes the perfect gift for the gardeners in your life.

What a lovely little project. And I just happen to have some old muffin tins that I am about to replace. Thanks for the idea.
This looks great! We are always on the search of projects for Junior Master Gardeners. This would be wonderful for them to do in the winter when it’s too cold to go outside.
That’s a great idea. Would look good with small shells, too, I would think.
That is seriously too cute. I love it and plan on trying that with my kids on the first occasion that I can.
I’ll try it with my boys. Thanks!
