HOW TO MAKE ROPE WRAPPED CANDLEHOLDER DIY
This candleholder diy could not be easier! Even if you are not crafty you can make rope wrapped candleholders!
Once I gathered up everything to make these candleholders they were so easy to put together. I don’t think they took 10 minutes to make. And they look so pretty!
MATERIALS AND INSTRUCTIONS…
- glass cylinder
- organic looking rope (see the ROPE HERE)
- hot glue gun and hot glue
- any embellishment (see my STARFISH HERE)
2. Using hot glue, adhere the rope to the bottom front of the glass cylinder.
3. Wrap the rope around the glass cylinder gluing as you go.
4. Wrap the rope around the cylinder about one third the way up from the bottom. Cut and glue the rope to the cylinder to finish.
5. Hot glue a beach element to the front of the cylinder.
6. Make another!!!! And then add a candle!
That’s it! So easy and so charming!!!
This candleholder diy is definitely an easy way to add a lot of interest and beauty to your decor!

I loved this so much I went to the Dollar Store today and bought 2 vases, rope and 2 bags of shells. I couldn’t find a candle I liked so I put the shells inside the vases. I spent $5 and love they way they look!! Thanks for the idea.
Thanks for letting me know Eva! Smart girl!
Beautiful. Is it best to glue the rope or the glass?
Yes hot glue the rope to the glass. It’s easy.
The candle holders are great. Thanks
You are so welcome, Cecilia!
Just LOVE the beachy candle holders and will be making some so thank you. I’m redecorating my living room with a nautical theme , live right outside Charleston, S.C. – the inspiration . I , of course , have to throw a little Olde Charlestowne in there.
Love this! Thinking of doing something like this for the tables at my son’s wedding rehearsal dinner, but with hearts, not shells! Thanks for the great idea!
Does not the heat from the candle cause the hot glue to turn loose the rope attached to the glass cylinder
What a great question Jane! I use tall candles and have not had that problem… yet!
Wouldn’t those look nice at a wedding reception, garden party, shower? There are so many ways they could be used.
What a wonderful, easy idea! Very excited to make these…thank you!
That’s such a great idea! I love those:D Thank you!
What a great project. Thanks the candles look great.
Be blessed

I love these candle holders. They re so charming and easy. Thanks for the idea1
Very pretty. I have bought some clear glass at the dollar tree. Where do you buy your rope?
Hi Ginny, I got the rope at our local Tractor Supply. Most any hardware store will have rope.
Where did you get the starfish?
I’ve had them for years! I think they came from my local Pottery Barn outlet. Sorry I can’t tell you more than that!
Love these! Can’t wait to try them! Thanks for the ideas!
Very cool knockoffs Yvonne!!!….Have a great weekend!
This is such a great idea for a summertime hostess gift! Thanks!
Your candles are so pretty. A friend gifted me a rope wrapped cylinder bucket one year. She filled it with sunflowers and ferns. I really like the simplicity of rope.
