TikToker Macy Blackwell (@macy.blackwell) loves decorating for the holidays.

For spring 2024 she made egg candle holders.

“I’m obsessed with how cute these are,” she wrote.

“I used some plastic eggs I already had, and got the rest of the supplies from Amazon,” she continued. “So beautiful for your Easter decor.”

For your supplies you will need plastic eggs, two round wooden pieces per candle holder, dowels, glue, a drill, candles, and paint or ribbon.

Macy said the first step is to drill a hole in the top and bottom of the egg, making sure it is the same size as your dowel rod.

Then you drill a hole in the center of the wood pieces. It should be about half an inch deep, she said.

To keep the plug in place, put some glue in the hole and hold it down.

‘It’s a great alternative to chocolate’ say mums who rush to buy a B&M Easter box for kids, which costs just £4 and contains 15 ‘fidget’ items

Then you can slide the eggs onto the rod, glue the top piece of wood into the hole and stick it on.

The last step is to place the candle on top, and you have the option to tie a ribbon around it.

“You can also paint the wood pieces if you want them to be a fun color,” Macy said.

People in the comments section loved Macy’s craft.

“You always have the best ideas,” said one.

“You’re always trying to come up with the right ideals for the holidays,” wrote a second.

“That’s a great idea,” a third posted.

“Those are so cute,” a fourth added.
