DIY Cozy Sweater Wrapped Glass Candleholders for Winter

How to create cozy and cute sweater wrapped holiday candles.

This year I got some of our Christmas decor up super early (for me) in spaces like our kitchen, but some of the areas I usually tackle first I just recently got to. One of those was our mantel in the family room. I love decorating this spot because our fireplace is so large and spacious since our renovation in this room a couple years ago.

The only cost came from the fresh greenery -- I prefer using it for most areas just because it looks so pretty and there's no storage needed. The only problem is you can't get it too soon or it will really dry out.

I've used these Goodwill glass containers many times over the years and have turned it into a personal mission to see how many ways I can make them over for the holidays. ;) I tend to do this a lot (more on the other looks in a minute) because they are so easy and fun to change up! I've been planning this one for YEARS…I saw this idea forever ago and have been putting away old sweaters for at least four years. I ended up with three stretched out/stained/pilled sweaters that I've saved just for this.

I used the arms of the sweaters for most of the candleholders -- I just stuck it inside the sleeve and then cut them down to size:
I started gathering these glass candleholders from Goodwill years ago (most craft stores carry them as well) and they are so versatile!

I piled the trays on the built ins with ornaments and added my free Christmas printables (from Kellie) back in the frames:

The great part is that I can just take the sweater covers off and easily store them for next year!

Here's a look back and the other ways I've transformed these simple glass candleholders over the years -- this one is one of my favorites:
This was the same idea, but the snowflakes were pretty adorable too:
