DIY Decorative Candle

As you know I absolutely love candles. Over the weekend I was at Pottery Barn and found some gorgeous fall themed carved candles. If I was rich the $45 price tag would have been no big deal, but since I am not…. I decided to DIY my own carved candles.

I bought a $3.99 tan candle \”baked cookie\” scent from Michaels.
Measure a piece of printer paper and cut it to the size of your candle.

Draw out the design you would like carved onto your candle.

Tape your design to the candle.

Use a knife and trace over your design.

Your candle should now look like the above picture.

Now you are going to start to carve away at your candle. You want your design to be 3D. So you will scrape away around your design.

Voila! $3.99 and a couple hours later and you have a gorgeous decorative candle!

Last night one of my friends from college and I were discussing candles and our favorite scents. In college her and I both had signature scents for our dorm rooms. Mine was Bath & Body Works Black Raspberry Vanilla while hers was Frosted Cupcake. Her and I may be past the point of spraying our rooms with our signature scents, but we aren\’t past giving our rooms a delightful scent. Some of my go to candle scents are below. Now tell me… What is your favorite candle scent?
