Decided to give making a pistachio shell candle holder.

Easy and fun and great way to re-use the shells!

Start with heavy cardboard, pistachio shells,

any votive (glass is best as it won't melt/burn),

spray paint, hot glue.

 

Use any size cup or glass and cut out the shape on the cardboard,

do the same with the votive. This gives you the pattern to follow.

Start by hot gluing the shells around the circle until you get to the outside and

can no longer see the cardboard.

 

Spray paint any color, dry, and voila!!
