15. Minimalist Glass Hurricane with Sand and Pillar Candle

What You Need

  • An oversized clear glass hurricane vase
  • Fine cream or tan craft sand (about 2 inches deep)
  • A thick ivory pillar candle
  • A few dried star anise pods or cinnamon sticks

How to Make It

  • Pour the cream craft sand directly into the bottom of the glass hurricane vase, leveling it out smoothly.
  • Push the ivory pillar candle firmly into the center of the sand so it stands completely stable.
  • Arrange a few star anise pods or cinnamon sticks on top of the sand around the base of the candle.

Tips & Variations

  • Tip: Sand acts as a wonderful, natural anchor and protects the glass from wax runoff.
  • Variation: Use white sea glass or crushed oyster shells instead of sand for a coastal-neutral vibe.
