DIY Tealight holder frame

Bring visual interest to your walls in your home with this beachy, modern, chic DIY tealight holder frame! I’ve had these aqua tealight holders for a while, and now I have turned them into ….little hanging vases! A convenient way for repurposing worn-out frames and old tea light holders. What can you do with it? These are super easy to hang, use it both as decor and storage.

~ Place fresh cut flowers, artificial succulents, water plants, or just some faux flowers.
~ For a rustic look, you could arrange dried flowers and leaves in them
~ You can even replace the artificial succulents with real succulent plants for an added touch
~ Place it on a bookshelf, window sill, nightstand, work desk
~ Get organized and fill them with your kitchen utensils, art supplies, study desk items, makeup brushes, toothbrushes, bath accessories!

To go with the current spring season, I am hanging some faux flowers and using it on a window sill in my living room, for the sun to shine through the beautiful vintage glass holder. For the summer, I am going to switch it up as a beach decor + storage piece in our guest bathroom! Who doesn’t loveee a reusable DIY item and an IKEA hack!

    How did you screw in the hooks, using a screw driver or did you have holes already to the frame
