An easy salt dough recipe you can use to make this sparkly salt dough candle holder craft.
Sparkly salt dough candle holders
Do you remember the salt dough candle holders we made for Diwali? They look just a good decked out in Christmas colours.
The salt dough recipe is the same but this time they’re painted with red acrylic paint with lashings of red glitter for added sparkle.
A row of these on the mantle piece or in the centre of the Christmas dinner table look so festive.

These are so cute! I have a 25 Days of Handmade Christmas series running on my blog and I think this would be a great thing to share with my readers! If you’re interested, I would just need the HTML for a guest post. I’m off to check out the tutorial now.

These are adorable….how long did they take to cook? We did salt dough ornaments and they took over 6 hrs to bake! Thanks for sharing at Thrifty Thursday!!
LOL–before I started reading, I thought, “hey, these would be great for Diwali, too!” We’ll make these for my boys’ American grandparents AND Indian grandparents. One project. Score! 🙂
That’s win – win Dawn! Hope you enjoy making them.
This would be a great gift idea – it’s kid-friendly but will get used too!
