Alison shares fun and easy ways to decorate candles.

Materials Needed:

  • Taper candles, any size
  • Stickers, appropriate for your ocassion
  • Double boiler or tall can in water filled pot
  • Sealing wax

Instructions:
Candlemaking can be can be both fun and dangerous. You should never try any projects that use heat and fire without an adults help, and always follow candle safety rules.

Choose your candle and place stickers around or down one side of candle. Place sticker towards the middle if you plan on burning your candles, as you can not burn below sticker placement.

When satisfied with placement dip candles once in the melted sealing wax to "laminate" your stickers onto your candle. Holding onto wick, make sure wax completly covers stickers. Longer candles may need to be dipped one end at a time.

Now you can coordinate your theme or holiday right down to your candles! Quick and easy.
