Dollar DIY: Valentine’s Day Decorative Candle

A candle centerpiece is the perfect way to add the charm of Valentine’s Day to your table. You don’t have to spend big bucks on a premade arrangement, in fact, you can create your own at home for less. Take a look below at how with a few dollar store supplies, you can create a sweet Valentine’s Day decorative candle for your own table.

Supplies needed:
Round, red pillar candle
Assorted ribbon
Peel and stick foam hearts
Glitter foam
Glue

For this project, we were able to find everything we needed at our local dollar store. Give yours a peek and chances are you will find what you need too!

Directions:
1. Begin by cutting a strip of glitter foam to fit the candle. Wrap the strip around the candle and secure with glue.
2. Next, cut a length of ribbon to fit the candle. Secure it with glue nice and tight. You can add a second strip if you wish, or even tie it in a bow for extra flare.
3. Peel and stick the foam hearts in an arrangement of your choice. We kept our simple and just used a few, however you can use as many as your heart desires. If you would like, you may also secure these with glue for extra staying power.

Wasn’t that sweet and simple, not to mention so inexpensive? Your Valentine’s Day candle is all ready! How lovely would these be given as gifts to teachers or friends? Or, you can just display it around the home wherever you need some Valentine’s Day spirit. So gather your supplies and see what you can come up with. This is one craft you won’t want to miss!

Note: Remove all embellishments before lighting as they could pose a fire hazard.
