Little Doll Candle Holders

I’m in full party mode around here, preparing for Tate’s dolly party in a few weeks.  Last week I shared Tate’s little birthday dress and today I’m sharing the cutest little candleholders.

I saw this idea here and loved them but decided I could make my own {super simple and far cheaper} version.

I used wooden beads and paint pens and had all three finished in about ten minutes.  My kind of project!

I drew on some hair, colored in a few coats, and added round blue eyes and whimsical, crooked smiles.

The pre-drilled holes in the beads are perfect for holding candles.  Won’t they look adorable on her cake?

    This is such a fun idea! I was thinking how cute if you did something similar with beads and painted a name on them! Thank you so much for inspiring me today!
