Jazzing Up A Candle
Store bought plain candles of any color
Fabric paints in suitable colors
How to begin.
Using a free hand painting style. Apply dot's and squiggles of fabric paint onto your candle.
Using gold is a great way to begin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Apply a decorative gold border to the top or bottom of any plain candle to give it a nice classic feel.
If you make a mistake wait for the paint to dry and carefully peel it off and start again.

i have made and given as gifts.
I love it, think its fab, going to try to make this.
Making candles this way is great becaus it's , cheap, not that messy, and does not take as long as it would to make hand made candles.
these seem really cool i cant wait to try them
These sold fabulously at our school craft show !!!!!!! I am just scared on how they burn because I do not want to burn down houses!
Wonder how these burn? Would the paint be a hazard? I have so many ideas running through my head after reading this.
you know,this idea would be good for vases and sunglasses too!
I never thought to use fabric paint. These are an easy gift for cent sales and school fund-raisers.
