So, I have decided to make the presents this year, I feel that I am comfortably enough with my creativity so make this happen. I had a lot of leftover candles that I got from my mom and collected myself. Johnny and I burn a lot of candles and they never burn to the end, so we are always stuck with leftovers.

I have described the process in an earlier post: Making Candles. This post is just the show off ;)

Unlike last time, I decided to decorate them. After all of the candles were completely done, I did some decoration. Some candles I just simply dipped in a different or same color, half way or all the way. The candles with the dots were done with a toothpick dipped in wax and then applied to the candle. The vertical striped candles were painted with wax. The horizontal stripes/splats were done by having a spoonful of wax and then gently dripping it on the candle while turning the candles to the side. And thats that :)
