DIY Dotted Tealight holder instructions
I don't know if you're like me, but I love re-cycling things I have round the house. This DIY might not be completely amazing but I think it's really cute. I used an old tea light holder and just scraped away the remains of wax and gave it a good clean. I learnt my lesson the other week when I placed a candle in the microwave. My boyfriend ran out the house, as the microwave had a lovely fire spinning around inside. Luckily, he came back in the kitchen and put it out.
The post is up on Nouvelle daily, so let me know what you think and if you are going to do one yourself. It's so easy and looks pretty lit.

  12. This is so gorgeous! I'm so in love with everything you do DYI and interior related! Your style is so lovely - I'm really into the whole white space and minimal look myself. Can I ask where you got the silvery splatter-like candle holders from? Thanks! xox
