Candle Crafts



Candles are attractive and special on their own but when you combine them with some of the elements listed below you can create a unique decoration for your home or for sale. If your candles are part of a larger project, remember to keep color scemes and scents in mind






Some common elements used in these candle crafts:
Hurricane lamp flute
Artificial flowers
Artificial fruit
Votive and taper candles
Household items such as baby food jars, wine glasses, large vases.






Jazz up a simple candle with artificial flowers to make these attractive wedding favors for your guests. Personalize each one with a slip of paper bearing your names, the date of your wedding and a special message.






Match the colors of the glass beads and the candle to the main colors being used in your wedding. Guests will love to take one of these home as a souvenir. Give them away during the reception by placing something under one of the chairs at each table. Make sure the winner empties the water before they take the centerpiece home (it'll be easier and less messy).
