Romantic Valentine Candle

So sorry it has taken me sooo long to post!
Fibromyalgia tends to kick my butt after vacationing.
What I plan in my head doesn't always happen...
so I adjust...
A few days of couch time and Emma cuddle time
seems to have helped a lot!
I started feeling better yesterday so
I pulled out a project.


I bought an emergency candle one day while grocery shopping,
knowing I could pretty it up one day.
I saw these pretty doilies on Michelle of Mish Mash's etsy,
and she mailed them out real quick! Thanks Michelle!
This is what I came up with...


I took some Modge Podge and adhered the doily to the candle.
Then I took some vellum and stamped the heart on, cut it out and
used Modge Podge to adhere it to the doily.
I had some sparkly silver hearts so I added that.


It looked like it still needed a little something.
So I added the pink ribbon.
Lookin' good!


Here it is on the shelf.
Pretty and romantic.
Not to mention inexpensive!

Today, I'm feeling way better and have been cleaning.
I have some more things up my sleeve,
hopefully, I can get to them soon!

    I'm glad to hear you are on the mend Kim.

    Your candle went from utilitarian to pretty.

    I'm daft; what do you mean by you stamped the vellum? I've obviously never stamped. LOL

    That is very cute! I wanted to buy some candles. After seeing this I know I have to get them. I hope I do not need an emergency to use them. Glad to hear you are feeling better and back to crafting! OMG stay warm there in Chicago. That is brutal weather and I think it is coming my way!

    I think that you have inspired me to make something similar for a Valentine's decoration. This is a cute idea!

    Hope you feel better soon!
