4th of July Decorations - Sand Candles

Red, white, and blue are the primary 4th of July celebration colors. We recommend decorating your party table with red, white, and blue sand candles. This adds traditional colors to your table without over doing it. 

Sand is available in a variety of colors at most art-supply stores and designing a sand candle is extremely simple and fun! To make a sand candle, fill a clear drinking glass with enough sand so that a votive candle placed on top falls just below the rim. Set the glass inside a clear glass vase or jar. With a funnel, fill the gap between the two containers with layers of colored sand, using enough to reach the rim of the drinking glass. 

Create several candles as a patriotic center piece to coordinate with your china or linens for your outdoor dining!
