Anyway, I bought a gold leaf pen a few weeks ago at Hobby Lobby without knowing exactly how I was going to use it. Then last weekend, at IKEA, I picked up a $1 candle. And then genius struck. Just kidding. This project is a combination of a few things I've seen around and it was so easy. No genius required.
How the candle looked before.
And after.
Like I said, so easy. Just draw lines on the candle with a gold leaf pen. It's not perfect by any means, but it definitely added a nice hint of gold and pattern where there previously was none. Best kind of craft, because you can do it while watching great television shows :)

Doug's mom likes Drop Dead Diva. I have seen one or two episodes.
ReplyDeleteHaha I'm so glad I have something in common Doug's mom :) It is seriously so bad, but for some odd reason I've seen all three seasons!
DeleteI'm ashamed to admit it but I watch Drop Dead Diva too. What is even funnier is that Adam watches with me!! (Swear to me that you won't tell anyone that!) I saw your blog on facebook, hope you don't think I'm a crazy stalker.
ReplyDeleteHahaha Holly that's awesome! I'm always shocked when anyone has ever even heard of the show much less watch it! Don't worry - I won't tell anyone that Adam watches it :) I am so glad you found my blog - I didn't know you had one too! I am always excited to have a new blogging buddy!
DeleteOh, what a great quickie project. Filing this away. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteI like it, simple, so I will not mess it up! :)
