Bling out your candles? Yes, of course. Make them sparkle and shine! I've been buying very plain ones lately because I've wanted unscented ones. I've been thinking about the look I want for this Christmas. A little different from the red, green and gold that we traditionally did for many years. This year, I am looking at going white, silver with lots of sparkle and just a touch of some red and green. So very different but my kids are older. I'm also scaling my decorations down a bit.
I've been eying my candles and thought they looked a little boring. I happened to be wandering the aisles of Walmart and saw these:
Bling for your candles!
How perfect! Here's the thing. These are meant to be sewn onto things. I however used plain white glue. I just put a tiny drop on the back of each and stuck them on my candles. My only hint is, hold them for a few seconds or they just sliiiiide right down the candle :). Be creative in what you look at. If it sparkles and you can glue it on, it'll work!
So glad I did this! They look especially nice in a centerpiece. I'd like to personally recommend you bling out your candles :).
I love the bling on my white candle! It was just missing something. I still also love my white pinecones and I have started painting some more. For the tutorial on how to paint them, see my white pinecone post.

Nice! I think I will try this. I am going all out this Thanksgiving, decorating it up! I bet you could use bling from scrapbooking to decorate them too. Hmm, new use for all my brads and eyelets! I have a diy blog, you've given me some ideas for future posts. Thanks. I will remember this post and link up when I do.

I'm sure you can find lots in your scrap booking supplies to use. I was also told one time that old earrings (cheap ones, that you no longer want) would be nice and sparkly too. Stud earring would work perfectly. Please do let me see what you've come up with!
