Since starting work in retail, I've been more aware of how expensive the simplest things are.  Candles for example, can run up to $25 for a jar of over scented wax.  Although I am reluctant to spend that much on 1 candle, I still can't give up the warmth the look of a burning candle gives a room on a cold December day.  Enter: my dollar store finds!  For $1 for each unscented candle, $2 for a jar of glitter (6 colours), $1 for a spindle of twine, and $1-$1.25 for some glass cups, I was able to create unique looking candles for this holiday season.




I love the look of the glitter twinkling in the light of the candle's wick, it's almost hypnotizing!  I added some embellishments like snowflake cutouts and some mini pinecones I picked up on a walk through my local creek.  It's unbelievable how some glitter can drastically change the look of some dollar store candles.

Tip - Cover your candle with an even layer of glue or it will look patchy (like a couple of my candles do)
