Micro DIY #5
Your love is like a candle that warms my heart!
This is my 5th Micro DIY in the Valentine series of 9. You can check the previous four here, here, here and here.
There is nothing more beautiful and romantic than a candle to express ones love. With this thought in mind I have created this simple DIY that can be done in under 10 mins and won’t cost you anything.
You can use any solid colored, thick candle that might be sitting somewhere in your garage, basement or closet. I used a white color candle that I bought many years ago and was sitting in my laundry room (not sure why it was in there).
With a bit of creativity you can convert this candle into a wonderful Valentine’s day decor. This is how the decorated & painted candle will look like finally.
You can paint heart shapes on the candle with brush and fabric paint.
You can paint heart shapes on the candle with fabric or any marker.
You can also use glitter paint to decorate the candle.
Happy Crafting!

Wow! What a great idea! Now I can finally put all those plain candles just sitting around the house to good use.
That’s true, you can.
This candle is really sweet, and I have all these old candles around the house and never know what to do with them. Now they have a purpose!
I agree with you Anna, now we can make candles that are just lying around actually look beautiful. Thanks for your comments.
this is really cute! and way cheaper then themed candles in stores!
Glad you like the idea. Thanks.
