Altered Candles.
So once in a while I discover a cool blog that inspires me in one way or another, and then from THAT blog I end up discovering ANOTHER blog and it’s like Christmas or something! And the next thing I know 3 hours has gone by and I’ve got nothing to show for it except my back hurts from sitting in front of the computer too long.
Anyway….that happened today and Chris over at the Just A Girl blog is hosting a party. But it’s even better because it’s for people to show projects that can be made for gifts for the holidays. I am always looking for new things to make so I am in hog heaven right now clicking on all the links and seeing what all these women have been making and showing on their blogs.
Here’s my contribution to the party.
I recently got onto a candle-altering kick and made some fall decorated candles that I loved. And then I made a few Christmas ones also. I took a $3 candle from the dollar store and then added my own scrapbooking paper strip and some Christmas ribbon and a cute little Christmas themed chipboard ornament and attached it with a safety pin from my scrapbooking supplies.
What do you think?
Here are the other ones I made recently.
The autumn candles are my favorites. These were a bit more time consuming because I used Stickles glitter on the flowers and printed out the words on cardstock and then cut those out, etc.
These fall candles can be purchased in my etsy shop.

Oh my word! I LOVE these! I am so glad when I come across a project that starts at the dollar store! I’ll be doing these for sure! Thank you for joining the party!
These are great! I love them all, but the bottom one is my fave.
Ooo! I like your candles! I just decorated the outside of a jar candle the other day. You’ve given me some more inspiration! THanks!
