Spiderweb Candle

This is just a "Better Homes and Gardens" candle that I purchased at Walmart for $4.98.   It is a light green color and the scent is "Chocolate Peppermint Truffles".

I peel the label off and started by drawing a rough polygon shape in the center, draw lines out from it the go around the polygon in small increments to larger increments all the way around.  I used a Porcelaine 150 fine tip ceramic paint marker on it as it is what I had on hand.

I like the idea because it does look eerie in a dark room, but perhaps a black sharpie or acrylic paint might work better and give you better control.   I might try this next with glow in the dark paint instead.   The Porcelaine paint marker is to be used specifically on glass but I have always gotten splotchy results with it even though this is a fine tip marker.

"Candle" Recycled Package

 Great for small items or gift certificates!

Upcycle a cardboard toilet paper tube and magazine pages into a "candle" package.

Items used:

• Cardboard Toilet Paper Roll
• Magazine Pages
• Scissors
• Hot Glue Gun
• Glue Stick
• Packing Tape
• Yellow, orange or red ribbon or paper
  

With side you want on the outside facing down, fold up the bottom of the paper so that it is more of a square shape, but still wide enough to so there are few inches on either side of the tube when centered on the diagonal.   Glue the corner of the edge to the center of the toilet paper tube and roll until covered, then glue the other end.

Put the present inside the center of the tube.

 

Fold the paper on each end over and secure it with packing tape.

Draw the letters onto paper and cut out the letters.  Paste them to the front of the candle.

 

 Fold the ribbon or paper over two inches and repeat, then use glue to the top of the candle
