Hurricane candle holders

Whether you are looking for hurricane candle holders, tall glass vases, a hurricane vase for flowers or a hurricane cylinder candleholder for your hurricane lantern we have a large selection from which to choose. 

The hurricane lantern  was a originally a lamp with a glass chimney designed  to protect the flame from the wind. 

By placing a candle inside a glass vase or glass candleholder we now have a much wider definition of a hurricane lantern. We now have hurricane candleholder lanterns. Any item that protects the light source and allows light to shine thru can be classed as a hurricane lantern.  Thus many of our glass candleholders fit the description hurricane lantern.

Hurricane candle holders now include curved glass candle holder vases thru to straight glass cylinder vase hurricanes. Tall vases and Tall glass cylinder candleholders are very popular.

You'll can also  discover some fabulous modern tealight cylinder hurricane candle holders vases and more quaint old fashioned wasp trap glass candle holders.

You can create fabulous candle centerpieces with these hurricane candle holders.

Decorate a Vase Base for a Stunning Table Centerpiece

Creative Bases for Vases, Hurricanes, Cylinders

Decorate Your Centerpiece Vases Creatively This Spring! Here's a couple of ideas to make a table centerpiece with flair. Impress your guests with your extraordinary talent for decorating! Using a vase, hurricane candleholder or glass cylinder with artificial or real flowers and make a stunning table centerpiece. This is a concept that you can use with fresh or artificial flowers. If using fresh flowers, plan not to display for long periods unless you moisten and wind the stems like the pros.

Changing the napkin color and flower choices can give this arrangement a whole new look.

Replace the flowers with ivory roses, the napkin with an ivory napkin or silky piece of fabric, and the frosted shell with our beige shell and you can have a stunning wedding table centerpiece.

If you want to use a real candle don't use the grassy floral stems because they may catch on fire. The row of flowers with the napkin will work beautifully on the own!

Candle Wall Sconces - Sconce Candle Holders Create Atmosphere

Candle Wall Sconces - Sconce Candle Holders Create Atmosphere

Candle Wall Sconces are essentially wall candle holders. A wall candle holder and candle creates an ambiance hard to emulate and they are a cheap light source if you have access to affordable candles with long burn times. Beeswax candles are particularly good with candle wall sconces because they burn slow and bright. This means you can choose them for stairwells and dining areas and not have to replace them every time you uses them. The best thing about beeswax candles is that they are known to clean the air rather than pollute it.

Dining by candlelight is romantic and mood provoking. Finding a safe place on the table can be a challenge especially for large dinner parties and family gatherings. Having a candle wall sconce or two solves this problem. Whatever your style or décor there are candle wall sconces for you.

Above left is a photo of a very ornate wall candle holder. In great design contrast, this rustic candle wall sconce on the right still makes a huge impact in a very different décor style.


Wrought iron wall sconces are hugely popular in both modern and old fashioned country decorating.


All kinds of simple and modern wall candle holders too.

Make Your Own Christmas Garland in Candy Cane Style

The garland typically represents honor, heralds a celebration and brings praise. The garland can be a very symbolic as well as beautiful decorative item.

This candy cane style garland is easy to make and is loaded with meaning.

The candy cane represents the shepherds crook carried by Shepherds in the Christmas Nativity Story. The shepherd crook was used to hook around the neck of a lost sheep stuck in the briars or on a cliffs edge and pull him to safety. It is symbolic of the amazing life saving event about to take place in history. The birth of Jesus was the beginning of our salvation.

The white flowers are like the Christmas Rose that symbolizes deep devotion in the Christian Faith. The story behind this tells of a young poor girl called Madelon who at the time of Jesus' birth wanted so much to give a gift to Jesus but had nothing to give. She despaired as she saw the lavish gifts others bestowed upon Jesus. An angel came to her , touched the snow and helped her to find a white rose buried in the snow. She joyfully gave her gift to the Christ Child.

The holly represents the crown of thorns the Lord Jesus wore at His death and the red berries symbolize the blood he shed at His Death

The red vine is symbolic of fruitfulness that comes from believing His birth and Death and acting upon all that they mean.

Below are the instructions on how to make this fabulous meaningful garland. Click on the images or product names for more details or to purchase these products.
