Upcycled LED Window Candle

Hello friend,

I'm working on items for my Holiday Boutique-

I think these candles will look nice in my display booth. 

These window candle sticks are a great deal at Dollar Tree at $1.25.

You can find similar candles on Amazon or other craft stores.

They each need 2 AAA batteries.

First add the batteries to the base and make sure the candles works.

Use hot glue to make realistic dripping candles.

Start an inch or so down and work upward.

The drips look like real melting wax.

Mistakes can be removed if needed after it cools.

If you like the way they look here, just use chalk paint

to cover the plastic and the drips.

I liked the base and left it as is.

I painted the candle stick with white chalk paint.

After in dried, I covered the candle with antiquing wax

and wiped with a soft cloth.

Then a light coat of Mod Podge.

So realistic!

They have an elegant soft glow.

For my other set,

I'm going to give the candles a rustic, grubby, primitive look!

Here is more details on 'how to make grubby candles '

Paint the candle stick with Mod Podge.

Use a shaker to cover with a 

mix of cinnamon and dry instant coffee.

Let dry and cover with another layer of Mod Podge.

Use a tap, tap, tap motion with your brush

so the spices do not fall off.

Here is a picture while the candle sticks were wet.

I added a bit of wire garland at the base.

It can be easily removed.

After and hour or so they are dry.

The candles will sit nicely on a windowsill.

or shelf

Thank you for visiting today!

I hope you have a wonderful week.
