A lovely gift or decoration -- decoupaged glitter candles


Photo and design by Ashlee at My So-Called Crafty Life
I spotted these gorgeous decoupaged glitter candles at My So-Called Crafty Life and just had to share the link.  Ashlee is such a talented designer, and I especially love those crafts she designs with a vintage flair. 

I've read before about decoupaging candles with paper napkins and have long been intrigued, though I have never gotten around to trying to make any.  Paper napkins can be found in such glorious designs and patterns, and are a very inexpensive crafting medium indeed.  For Christmas gifts, you could use either holiday napkins or something else that you know the recipient would enjoy.  The glitter adds such an amazing touch to this simple craft.

Have fun with this idea!  I hope to!

    1. I know, Pamela. Are you near any Christmas Tree Shops? They have gorgeous imported paper napkins which are priced very inexpensively.
