#HANDMADE INSPIRATION: CANDLES




There is something wonderful about snuggling up on a cool autumnal evening with a cup of tea, a big thick blanket and the warm light of a couple of candles burning in the background.  If you have never made your own they are a really simple and relatively cheap project and as Christmas approaches make a wonderful gift.

Here's some of my favourite DIY Candle Projects...

A BEAUTIFUL MESS

Not only is beeswax is a wonderful air purifyer, cleansing the air in your home, but it also smells beauifully sweet and warm.  With so many people opting for natural products over synthetic chemicals these days they make a beautiful gift and have universal appeal. 

SEASHELL CANDLES
DESIGN SPONGE

A great alternative to tea lights and a great way to make use of the beauitful beach finds gathered on a bracing sea side walk.
