NEVER underestimate your ability to recreate and come up with a cheaper alternative to expensive decor.

DIY and Dollar Tree master Shahla showed viewers how to make dupes for Anthropologie's $26 candlestick holders with $1.25 items.


Shahla is known to share her favorite home decoration bargains and tips for how to repurpose old items on TikTok.

She posted a recent video demonstrating how to turn Dollar Tree candle holders into ones that look exactly like Anthropologie's.

"I bought these candlesticks from the Dollar Tree because I was inspired to make something like these on trend," she says, referring to a picture on Anthropologie's site.

The colored glass candle holders seen in the pictures of the Colorful Alabaster Candlesticks at Anthropologie are $26 apiece.

Each candle holder is a different size and shape, but the style is abstract mixed with modern.

Shahla found similarly shaped glass holders at Dollar Tree for only $1.25 each.

She bought a couple of their Glass Taper Candleholder and some other shaped ones that were the same as Anthropologie's.

Using multiple cans of Montana Glass Paint for $7.50, Shahla spray painted the taper holders.
