Hello my friend!
It looks like a mess, but I promise it's not that bad.
I'm going to show you how I made
some grubby candles using a battery powered base candle.
I had some that were old and wax was cracking....but they still worked fine.
You may have some already on hand.
Everything I used today was from the Dollar Tree.
Yes, they have the candles for $1.25.
First add your batteries, and make sure they are working.
You will need:
a candle
matte or gloss Mod Podge
dry instant coffee
cinnamon or pumpkin spice
1'' wide brush
plate or pan to mix dry spices
Mix spices together,
no measuring needed
about a Tbsp. of each
Use your paint brush to Mod Podge the opening.
Use a spoon to add the spices and roll the candle
side to side.
Mod Podge the brim and sides.
After all sides are covered,
dab Mod Podge over everything to seal the spices.
Allow to dry.
Mod Podge will dry clear.
If you want your candle darker you can add another layer.
I liked it the way it was so I only painted one layer.
I just couldn't wait to turn on the switch!
It has a wonderful glow.
Feels like Fall, but nice for Christmas too-
I put the candle in a wood bowl with some berries
and leaves.
Beautifully bumpy, lumpy and grubby !
These really smell wonderful!
Thank you for visiting.

Here's another way I used a battery powered
candle to make a personalized gift
