HALLOWEEN FAUX BURNING CANDLES DIY ♡

EASY HALLOWEEN FAUX BURNING CANDLES DIY

You'll need:
Wrapping paper tubes or paper towel tubes or TP tubes, hot glue gun & glue sticks, flat black spray paint, and battery operated tea lights from Dollar Tree.
 Pretty and no fire danger!

 

After picking the perfect spot for each tube, I glued them together to stay in place, then hot glued around the rims (drippy & wax-like) & finished it off with a few coats of flat black spray paint.

before & after with battery operated tea lights.

Such a beautiful Halloween decoration! I almost wish I could keep it up all year long. The flicker of the tea lights is so realistic and lovely. I bought so many packs of tea lights @ the dollar tree. They're the best invention! The only thing I would change about my finished diy would be - to have only used the paper towl and wrapping paper tubes (taller/longer tubes). I used mainly toilet paper tubes & glued many together to make them taller, leaving a not so seamless look. But being October when I made this, I had a few months before wrapping paper season and used what I had.

I will definately be making more again this year! My house will be a flickering candle castle!

^ THIS IS THE PINTEREST PHOTO I USED AS A REFERENCE WHEN MAKING MINE.

 

 

 

 

Such a fun craft and beautiful outcome! Start saving your tubes & try it out.

LEMON VASE DIY ♡

I love Lemons & I happen to have an old one laying around getting older. The skin was hard as a rock & it had shrunk so much I didn't think it was good for anything anymore. Until I remembered the pin I saw on Pinterest of the cutest vase using lemons! Another diy thanks to Pinterest!

This was last summer, so I only have a couple pics.

 

I'm hating myself now for not taking after pictures of the complete flower arrangement. I was probably so surprised there was actually anything inside my tiny shrunken lemon, haha. I finished it with some beautiful yellow Asiatic Lilies we have in our front yard.

 

I'll definately be recreating this as soon as they bloom this year, which should be soon. :) It was so simple and the after result was beautiful.

All you need for this diy is:  A vase of your liking, another smaller filler vase or in my case I used a shot glass, And whatever you want inside. Just put the smaller vase within the larger vase (obvi) & filler up :)

 

Here are some pictures from PINTEREST using the "vase within a vase" method.

 

 

Mine most resembled this one^ :):)
