Crafting the Perfect Holiday Candle Holder

Before we dive into the crafting process, if you're using a soda can or a tomato sauce can, it's essential to prepare it first. Carefully wash and dry the can, ensuring it's clean and free from any residues. To accommodate the candle inside, you can use a can opener to safely remove the lid and create an opening. Now, take your prepared metal can and measure its length. This initial step is crucial, as it guides you in cutting the wooden sticks to the perfect size for your candle holder. You want the sticks to fit snugly, ensuring a secure and visually appealing result.

Now, it's time to bring out your versatile Dremel Lite. Attach the Dremel Cutting Disc SC544, which is specially designed for precision cutting, and carefully trim the wooden sticks to match the length of the metal can. The Dremel Lite makes this task remarkably straightforward, and the clean, accurate cuts will give your candle holder a polished look.

With your freshly cut wooden sticks in hand, reach for your Dremel Glue Gun. Apply a generous amount of glue to the freshly cut ends of the sticks. The Dremel Glue Gun offers a consistent flow of adhesive, ensuring a strong bond that will hold your candle holder together seamlessly.

Now, the real craftsmanship begins. One by one, press the wooden sticks firmly onto the metal can. Ensure that they are placed closely together, leaving minimal gaps between them. This step is crucial for creating a beautiful, solid base for your candle holder.

To infuse your candle holder with a touch of winter wonder, reach for the snow spray. Here's where your creative side can truly shine. Give the bottom of your crafted can a light, frosty dusting of snow. To achieve a natural and enchanting effect, remember to spray from a little distance. Slowly rotate the object as you spray, allowing the snow to fall gracefully, mimicking the magic of a winter's day.

With your candle holder almost complete, it's time to add the crowning glory. Place your favourite candle inside the can, and watch as it begins to flicker and dance, bathing your home in a warm and inviting glow.


Crafting your own holiday candle holder with Dremel is not only a joyful and rewarding experience but also a fantastic way to add a personal touch to your Christmas decor. With a flickering candle, the enchanting snowy effect, and the warmth of your creation, your home will become a true winter wonderland. So, why wait? Grab your Dremel tools and start crafting your way to a magical holiday season.
