It’s a nice variation on the bottle because you see people sticking tapered candles in the other end all the time. It was dragged around for a [...]

Cut N Carve Candle Instructions

April 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment

I was pleased to find these candle carving instructions through One Stop Candle. Plenty of people have expressed an interest in learning but classes can be very expensive.

Spring Candle Holder Project Ideas

April 6, 2008 | Leave a Comment

We decorated a few pastel colored votive holders today with some colorful spring themed rub on transfers.
