Turn an ordinary Candle into Something  Special.

Is it Spring yet?

Alas…no, but this little project will surely  brighten your day.

But first a confession…

You see… As I have got older, I have turned into quite the prepper. You never know…Right!

  What if…

The power goes off, (gasp of horror).

Food supply’s run low.

A comet passes by the earth and causes giant tidal wave’s, (in Kentucky)

   And worse…

Hobby Lobby runs out of candles.

Well in my home this would never be a problem.

 

 

Candles… I have them every where. Big, small, fat, skinny, battery operated,  most smelling like baked apple pie or cinnamon rolls. You name it, I have one.

And…On the odd occasion that the power does go off, I’m ready, with my little Bic lighter. lighting every thing with a wick, like a mad woman on a mission.

Ok…got that off my chest. Back to the project.

I found this candle last year at a thrift store, on sale! for only $8.00! It’s huge, and it was, did I mention, on sale!! and it has 3 wicks and would light up a room for at least  a fortnight.

But…It was boring, and plain and didn’t even have a fragrance. It needed some umph.

  All you need…

  • Candle. Any size or color.
  • Glue Gun/glue stick.
  • Paper or dried flowers and leaves.

I simply arranged the flowers and the leaves and glued them on, starting at the base and working my way up.

 

Its that easy.

I hope this little project brightened your day.
