Candles with the woodsy look of tree trunks have been crazy popular lately. Angie of the Country Chic Cottage for Crafts Unleashed tackled her own rendition that combines the perfect mix of nature and glam with a sparkly beaded finish. Angie’s candles are crazy easy to make too – just slather them with Mod Podge, roll them in the beads, and you’re done!
In three simple steps, Beth from Home Stories A to Z shares how she turned some plain white pillars from the dollar store into Pottery Barn-inspired beauties. A little craft paint, glue, and Epsom salt, and these lovely candles resemble a frosted forest!
You may have seen the fabulous birch pillar candles that are being sold by stores such as Pottery Barn and World Market lately. Kimberly at A Night Owl Blog certainly has and absolutely adores them! With some LED pillars from the dollar store and scrapbook paper, Kimberly quickly and easily whipped up a set of her own. For just a few bucks you can make yourself some and a set for a friend or two!

Liz of Infuse with Liz was inspired to create a pretty Indian corn candle centerpiece like one she spied in Pottery Barn’s catalog. Attaching the corn to the glass bowl proved a little troublesome, but in the end Liz pulled it all together… literally… with some twine {wink}. You can leave your corn au natural like Liz did or glam it up with gold paint like PB’s version.
Loving the look (but not the price, of course!) of iron candle lanterns, Krista from While He Was Napping made her own using picture frames from the dollar store. A little spray paint here… some glue there… and voila! Krista even added some vinyl to copy the decorative glass panels from her inspiration more closely. [...Read More]
I love seeing items that have been written off as old or outdated brought back to life with a quick fix. Jennifer from Southern Inspirations did just that to a pair of brass candlesticks from her garage sale stash and white pillar candles. Jennifer spray painted the candlesticks for an oil rubbed bronze finish and [...Read More]

However, this year she decided to create something a little more lasting from the shells after being inspired by a shell candle holder from ZGallerie. Aimee says, “ZGallerie’s Seashell Candleholder is great, but using our own seashells [...Read More]
