I'm sure you've all seen the epsom salt candles floating around the blog world. I liked the idea, but thought it could use improving. Here is my version...the glitter candle.
I love how sparkly it is! I painted hot pink onto the bottom 3/4 of the candle (2 coats) and when that was dry had my little helper coat the paint in Mod Podge. Then we covered the Podge in glitter! I didn't seal the glitter, because I didn't want to take away any of the awesome sparkle but since it will just be sitting on a shelf I figured it was ok. Now, I don't know about the safety of burning this candle, but with as stinkin' cute as it is why on earth would you want to! Once it was all dry I just tied a ribbon around the top of where the glitter ends.
Here it is next to my coffee filter carnations. If you want me to put together a tutorial on how I made the carnations let me know!

ReplyDeletehow did you make those? i would like to make it with my daughter for a school project!!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - I taped off the top part of the candle (the part I didn't want glittery) and painted the bottom with acrylic paint in a color that matched my glitter. Once the paint was dry I covered it with Mod Podge and then sprinkled it with glitter. I worked in small sections when it came time for the Mod Podge so that it didn't dry up before I could get the glitter on.
ReplyDeleteI hope that helps! If you need further instructions or want a photo tutorial let me, I'll be happy to make one!
