DIY Holiday Peppermint Candy Candle
This weekend I started to watch some Christmas movies, pin
some Christmas ideas, and started to dig out some of the Christmas decorations.
After going Christmas crazy I decided to make a really easy Christmas craft,
Christmas candles! These Christmas candles can be placed on fire mantels or
used as festive centerpieces for Christmas dinner.These Christmas candles are very easy to make and a lot cheaper then purchasing them from the store.
Items you’ll need to create these Christmas Candles:
- Plain white candles, any size.
- Hot glue guy and glue sticks
- Peppermint Christmas Candy
- Spray Varnish
Step 1: Go to
Wal-Mart or a dollar store and purchase a white candle. Then go to the Bulk
barn and purchase some peppermint Christmas candy.
Step 2: Once you
have purchased your candle and the candies its time to plug in the glue gun and
start gluing the candies onto the candle. Make sure to do one row of candies at
a time, starting at the bottom so that you will know how many candies will fit
evenly onto the candle. Be careful, this can become very sticky!
Step 3: Once the
candies are glued onto the candle you can take spray varnish or any type of
clear spray that seals, and spray the candies. Try not to spray the entire
candle. The spray helps the candies stay onto the candle longer, gives the
candle a shiny finish and decreases the stickiness.
Step 4: Once the
spray has dried your candle is ready to burn and look festive! Hope you guys
enjoyed this easy Christmas craft! More to come.
