Budget Week~ Snazzy Votive Candle holder

I found this copper looking scouring pad in a package of 3 at Dollar Tree. What can you do with a scouring pad to use in your tablescape? Snip one end of it....unroll it and (in my case) add a drinking glass I already owned and a candle.
Slip the glass into the scouring pad sleeve, put excess sleeve inside glass (can cut down if too much) and add a candle. Sorry for the pics...I need to learn how to work my camera!! However, you get the general idea....imagine a bunch of these on your tablescape instead of a plain votive candle holder. Of course scouring pads come in silver as well. I saw some ones in colors but they were plastic. So wouldn't use those for candle holders but would make a great "vase" for flowers.

The total cost for one candle holder: 60 cents
Scouring pads 3 for $1
Candle ~ 25 cents
glass ~ I already owned
