I love Christmas decorations but what I don’t often like is the price. Seasonal decorations can be so expensive and then you just pack them up until the next year. I really don’t want to spend a lot on something I only see occasionally. So I decided to make myself some snowflake votives this year. They were quick to make, very cost effective, and when you make something yourself, you can make it just the way you want it. 🙂
Easy DIY Snowflake Votives
If you want to make DIY snowflake votives just like mine, then you will spend a little over $7 total for the two of them together. I used the fake flicker type candles in mine, but you can also use real candles. If you use the M&M ones that I have pictured, then it will cost you about $8 total + tax for all of the supplies that you need at Dollar Tree.
You Will Need…
2 glass votives of your choice from Dollar Tree {make sure you choose ones that your candles will fit in}
4 packs of snowflake stickers {you will use the 2 smallest snowflake stickers out of each pack}
1 pack of flicker candles {or substitute 2 real candles}
Get To Craftin…
Make sure that your votives are really clean. I recommend cleaning them thoroughly with glass cleaner and then wiping them completely dry.
Take the two smallest stickers from each of your sticker packs and affix them to your votives on all 4 sides. Make sure that they are stuck really well.
Your snowflake votives are now ready for the candles of your choosing. I used the fake flicker candles for mine. If you have allergics, are asthmatic, or want to use these around children, I highly recommend them. They take batteries and it’s no big deal if you forget and leave them on.
See, wasn’t that easy?

Thanks a bunch! I always like to choose something inexpensive to make. I hate to waste money. :)
These look amazing! I wasn't planning on decorating much but these are something I could keep around all year.
This is one of the best winter themed projects I've seen in a while! I love it!
