I got my Espom Salt out again today and decided to decorate candle holders that I picked up at the local dollar tree.
What you need
Food Coloring
Epsom Salt – I picked it up at the Dollar Tree – I ended up only using $.10 worth.
Mod Podge – Michael’s – It is basically a glue that dries clear. It ended up costing me $3.50 ( after 40% Coupon) – ended up using $.15 Worth
Tubberware – to put the epsom salt in
Brush
What to Do:
1) Clean candle holders pour a small amount of epsom salt into your tubberware ( I used one that I could easily roll the candle in). I added a few drops of different colors – mix until color is even.
2) Paint the Mod Podge all over the candle holder
3) Roll the candle holders in the Epsom Salt ( Perfect for the kiddies to do 
)
4) Let it dry for about an hour
5) Enjoy!
My Candle Holders All Done and Drying
FINAL COST: About $4.00 – super fun and easy to make… PLUS they will be reusable yearly. I am planning on having the white candle holder out all year round

This looks fun and can’t wait to try it!
You could keep all of them out yearly, in different rooms, or different seasons
I love them
love these reminds me of some vintage lights that my grandmother had when I was a little girl
Does the epsom salt keep? If I made a batch ahead of time of different colored salts would them keep for a week or so?
I have heard that spraying a clear gloss sealer over the salt (after it’s on the glass) helps preserve the salt.
