DIY Moss Candle, Candle Holder, and Vase ALL for $2

What’s that you say? DIY Moss Candle, Candle Holder, and Vase ALL for $2.  Yep!! I enjoy the Winter months.  I like dressing in layers with sweaters and scarves, but I have been looking forward to Spring for weeks.  Now that Springtime is just a few days away my creative juices started flowing and I made 3 projects from moss: a DIY Moss Candle, Candleholder and Vase ALL for $2!

I can hardly wait to share them with you!

I started out by using these 3 components:

1-99 cent candle

1 bag of reindeer moss from Dollar Tree

1 bottle-tacky glue.

I used the same concept with this project as I did for the DIY Moss Easter Basket made from a peat pot:

and my DIY moss wreath, pictured below.

Using a paint brush, I brushed the candle with tacky glue and then adhered moss to it.  I continued this process until my candle was covered with moss. You can cover as much of the candle as you prefer. You can see in the photos, I have covered the whole candle as well as just the bottom third. If you like it-it’s perfect!

Doesn’t she look so “Springy”?  Much better than a plain white candle.  I looked up prices for this type of candle online, and they sell for between $13-$20.  Mine was $2-Score!!

While I was working on this Spring moss candle, the creative juices started flowing again.  I have quite a few empty cans waiting for me to use them, Hmmmm…..

What if I covered the sides and bottom of my can to make a moss covered candle holder??

Using 2 sizes of cans, I was able to have my candles on different levels.  Seriously fell in love with these!!

I also looked up the prices for moss candle holders online.  You will pay between $15 and $25 depending on the size.  My cost: basically $1.  I already had a bag of moss and the cans were in my craft cupboard.  Woo Woo!

Okay, the creative juices were on a roll now and they couldn’t be stopped.

What if I took those same cans and turned them upside down and created moss covered vases???  Yes!!

I headed over to Trader Joes from some fresh tulips (Great deal I might add-I bought 9 stems for $4)

Okay, back to my moss covered vases…

Viola!!  These are my fave so far!!  Wow-don’t they look expensive, “Springy”, and amazing with my moss candle??  Can you say”I am in love?”  I definitely am in love with all of these DIY moss ideas.

These moss vases would also be lovely filled with babies breath, billy balls, roses, or hydrangeas!!  The creativity is endless for these lovelies!!

Here they are with just a small touch of Easter.  The prices for moss covered vases is somewhere between $20-$30.  Mine-$1 for both.

I can’t stop taking pictures of my DIY Moss vases and moss covered candle.  They bring Spring into our home and look so inviting.

And lastly all 3 together…  A moss cover candle, a moss covered candle holder and a moss covered vase all of under $2.

All 3 of these would be perfect on an Easter table setting, at a bridal shower or even a wedding.

 I was so happy to share my DIY Moss Candle, Candle Holder, and Vase ALL for $2.

The price is incredible-you can’t beat it.

As a side note…If your dollar store doesn’t carry reindeer moss, glass candles you can order these from Michaels Stores.

Let me know if you are going to make some, too!  I would love to hear all about it. Just use the hashtag #whatmeeganmakes on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter for me to view your creativity.
