DIY St. Patrick's Day Votive Holders

Here's a fun little project I came up with over the weekend: do-it-yourself festive St. Patrick's Day votive holders!

I had a strong desire to do something creative and I'd been wanting to try Sharpie paint pens for a while. It turns out they're really fun to paint with! Also, when you're drawing with them on glass, if you make a mistake, you can quickly wipe it away and start over.  No fuss or mess!

Here's what you'll need to make your own St. Patrick's Day votive holders:
  • glass votive holders (I used one that I had sitting around the house)
  • votive candles
  • Sharpie paint pens (I picked up several in green, silver, white and black from Michael's)

    The green and silver colors contrast nicely, don't they?
    Jumbo Sharpie paint pens like this one go for $3.00 each at craft stores.
