15 Candle Centerpieces That'll Brighten Any Celebration

It's a star-spangled display! Use this colorful centerpiece to brighten up any party—from the Fourth of July to the summer beyond. All you need to have on hand is this kitchen item: a star-shaped cookie cutter.

How do you cohesively bring together a set of mismatched glass vessels on a single tray? Treat them with spray paint. Give them a spritz—each one in a contrasting hue—while the tray is drying. For a modern frosted look, only spray the bottom half of each candleholder.

Red, white, and blue bands of sand dress up votive candles to make flickering lights that are cheerful and fun.

Light up a table with this sand-and-shell centerpiece. Use candle adhesive to secure slender tapers to the bottom of a clear glass vase. Carefully pour in a few inches of sand, then arrange shells on top. Besides refracting the candlelight for added ambience, the vase will protect the flames from breeze.
