Looking for more Dollar Tree crafts?
Head here for my all-time favorite Dollar Tree crafts.
I was trying to think of a cool name for my latest Dollar Tree craft and do you think I could think of anything better than Glass Holders Of Schtuff?
Nope.
Knick knack holders?
No.
Glass candle-like thingamajiggy?
Nah.
Awesomesauce two buck glass contraption?
Uhh- uhh.
So anyway, you decide what to call them.
I call it cheap and cool and really isn’t that all that matters?
I started out with these fine one dollar each items at my local Dollar Tree:
Two candle holders in this dark color.
Two glass jars in this half size.
They are in the same aisle as all the other crap, ahem, I mean craft things.
Two packages of gourds and pumpkins.
Add a little of this to the rims of the candle holders and press the glass on top.
Then let them dry.
I usually put a book on top of it to let it set.
You will have this once it has dried:
Yes, I realized after I created this that I forgot to take the tag off the bottom of the glass.
This is one reason why I am not working for Martha Stewart Living.
It’s not the only reason, thank God.
Add in your gourds and pumpkins and you won’t even see the tag.
Cost breakdown:
Two candle holders from Dollar Tree- $2.00
Two glass jars from Dollar Tree- $2.00
Two bags o’ fall fun from Dollar Tree- $2.00
Total cost
$6.00 for an Anti-Martha Stewart Glass Holder of Fall Fun Fabulousness.
Yes, that is a much better title.
Looks like a kind of apothecary without the lid. Very cute and nobody will notice the label =)

I like what you did with the dollar items. You've reminded me that I picked up a black candlestick at Goodwill a few weeks back with Halloween in mind. Then I have an old pyrex small bowl – there's a name for it, but it escapes me. Maybe I can add some stuff from the yard. Thanks for the idea.
