We have 49 days until Christmas....So I thought i would challenge myself instead of challenging my readers to 49 holiday inspired ideas. They will be anything to do with the holidays, from cards to gifts, from recipes to decorating,from traditions passed down in my family to new ones i have up my sleeve. Todays gift idea is decorated candles. This is a great little project that can be completed within 20. perfect to do while the little ones sleep. All i did was take decorative cherry & pearl brads by Creative Imaginations and with a wire cutter nipped about 1/16" off the ends of the brad at a very sharp angle to make them sharp enough to stick into the side of the candle....
also (idea number two)...try using your favorite rub ons to dress up a candle...I used my Nostalgic Christmas rub ons on my green candle.
This is awesome! Can't for the next 49 days!
Thanks for sharing!

Oh my gosh -those are so beautiful! I can't believe those were rub on's on the green candle. What a easy and creative idea and I think would make a great gift. I look forward to your other ideas! Thanks for sharing.
