We have a lovely treat in store for you today! I’d like to introduce to you our Guest designer for another stop on the 12 Days of Christmas!! We would like to welcome Terrie Bailey as she walks us through the process of making this beautiful altered candle.
Wouldn’t this look sweet on a tablescape??
Let me tell you I love the Martha Stewart Glitter glue. It is so easy to apply and when dried it dries beautifully, no clumping or running like you get with the other glues.
So let’s begin!
Supplies:
- 1 plain pillar candle.
- Martha Stewart glitter glue.
- Want 2 Scrap bling.
- Wire ribbon.
- Prima flowers.
- Glue dots.
How to:
- First wrap your wire ribbon around your candle and secure on the back using GLUE DOTS
- Add a little glitter glue to all the petals of your flowers and lightly smudge in using the back of your finger. Let dry.
- Place your Want2Scrap bling in the center of your flower.
- Add a glue dot to the back of each flower.
- Position all the flowers around the center of the ribbon and adhere to the center of the candle.
Personally I love how this candle turned out and I like the fact that it can be used after the holidays are over as well. Thanks Terrie for showing us how to make this beautiful project!

This candle looks so pretty. Will it burn the flowers when the wax melts?

HI Minta!! Good question. I have a quite a few decorated candles in my house and what I do is only burn the candles an hour or two at a time and the candles are always attended. Once I get down close to the decoration, I watch a bit more carefully. I've never had a problem as long as there isn't anything hanging over the flame. With that said though, use your own discretion and never leave any candles unattended. Hope that helps! :)

Oops I forgot to mention too that since you are securing the ribbon with glue dots . . similar to a sleeve. . . you can also lift the decoration up and off as the candle gets too close for comfort. Thanks for the great question!
ReplyDeletegreat ideas to lift the ban up..
