Candles, candles, and candles! Candles are our saviors whenever we need clarification about lighting our parties and events. They set the mood for any kind of party, be it a birthday party, Christmas party, Thanksgiving or Halloween.
We all realize that candles bring more to a home than light and scent. They not only suit the chilly winter months but also light a fire of inspiration in our souls.
They keep adding beauty all year long. Candles produce a poetic and relaxing atmosphere that everyone longs for with their soft glow, shadow, scents, and presence.
It goes without saying that candles are important for Christmas. But this Christmas, instead of rushing to the market to buy your favorite Christmas candles, you can customize your own fancy candles without wasting your money using our amazing tips.
1. DIY Christmas Candles with Mason Jar
Our second DIY Christmas candle is an easy one. To make this Christmas candle, you need a mason jar, an old tin, some taper candles, and a lid. You can start off by melting some taper candles in a tin over a medium flame. Make sure that the flame is not high. Since you are decorating Christmas candles, it's better to stick with red or green colors.
After the wax is melted, remove the flame. Remember to add the candle wick and ensure it fits into your mason jar. Pour the melted wax into the mason jar and let it harden. Now it's time to decorate the lid.
Take a fancy Christmas wrapping sheet and cut a circle from it. Make sure that the size of the circle is equal to the lid. Now paste this circle on the back of the lid, and you will get a beautiful candle with a lid. You can keep the lid on top or decorate it beside the candle.
