Our feature project, above and below, is a DIY Autumn mason jar candle that is cheap and easy to make. LOVE the glow through the fall leaves!
From ‘Oleander and Palm’ these DIY birch candles are a natural look that can be used year round, but I can see them looking especially amazing around the holidays. Don’t forget gift giving time is right around the corner too, and these creative projects you make yourself are a truly heartfelt gift that will not get put in a back closet!
Another great DIY candle project straight from nature? These gold dipped log candlesfrom ‘Life Over Easy’… The gold paint adds something to the project, I think it was just enough without making it look gaudy gold… Another great gift idea!
From ‘Four Plus an Angel’ these crafty photo candleholders are easy with a printer and some old or dollar store vases… Click through to see how the photos glow when the candle is lit! Wedding gift?
Looking for something a little more exotic? These DIY lace candles look Victorian to me, and they are easy!
Crystal at ‘A Pumpkin and a Princess’ has a tutorial for you on these (what I can imagine smell AMAZING!) DIY lavender mason jar candles
This candle lampshade craft from ‘Good Housekeeping’ uses old wine glasses and a homemade shade for this really sure project. Complete instructions with a printable template for cutting out the lampshade.
Finally, from ‘DIY Wanderer’, this ultimate DIY candle guide tells you how to make your own candles, and gives you a chart to mix and match containers, wicks, etc… and then of course, step by step instructions to making the candles themselves… Have fun with your candles, and remember…use them!
