We would like to thank our June Guest, Jamie Cripps!
I love candles of all kinds but lets face it, they can get pricey! I have had my eyes on a candle at a fancy store for a couple weeks but as I was playing with my Helmar Clear Zapdots I figured out that I could mimic it and spend much, much less! I started off with a 6" vanilla and added several 1/2" clear round Zapdots, leaving the adhesive cover on the outside of the Zapdots. I then added three strips of P K Glitz's 1/4" Sticky Tape, again leaving the adhesive cover on. I poured out three areas of glitter, one for each color, and began peeling the adhesive covers off of the areas as I worked. I worked with all of one color before moving on to the next, shaking off the excess glitter. After all of the areas were covered, I ran the candle under the faucet rubbing areas where the excess glitter had stuck to the candle being careful to not rub off the areas I wanted the glitter to stay!
Supplies:
Glitter: Glitz in Chocolate, Charteuse, and Gilded Ivory (P K Glitz)
Adhesive Tape: 1/4" Sticky Tape (P K Glitz)
Adhesive: Helmar Zapdots, 1/2" Round Clear (Helmar)
Candle: 6" Vanilla
I am so pleased with how this candle turned out and can't wait to make more!
