15 Minute Valentines Day Candle Idea

January 8, 2014 by Shellie Wilson

Quick-and-Easy-DIY-Gold-Sharpie-Candle-great-holiday-gift-idea1

Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to show your loved ones how much you care, and what better way to do that than with a personalized gift? Candles are a classic gift that are loved by everyone, and this DIY candle project is a great way to add a special touch to your gift.

Originally borrowed from a Christmas project, this candle-making tutorial is perfect for Valentine’s Day too. It’s a great way to get creative and make something special for your loved ones. With just a few simple ceramic pots and some sharpies, you can create beautiful and unique candles that will impress your loved ones.

If you’re feeling particularly ambitious, you can make your own candles from scratch using wax and fragrance oils. This will allow you to create custom scents and colors that are perfect for Valentine’s Day. However, if you’re short on time or simply prefer to take the easy route, you can also pick up a ready-made candle and decorate it with sharpies.

The possibilities for decorating your candles are endless. You can draw hearts, write sweet messages, or even create intricate designs using different colors and patterns. The key is to let your creativity flow and make something that truly reflects your personality and style.

Once your candles are decorated, you can light them up and enjoy their warm glow and beautiful fragrance. They also make great gifts for your friends and family, and are sure to be cherished for years to come.

This cheese board isn’t just pretty; it’s practical too. The smooth surface is ideal for serving everything from crackers to fruit to your favorite cheeses. Plus, it’s an awesome example of recycling and upcycling, keeping those old bottles out of landfills while elevating your entertaining game.

Why we love it:

  • Made from recycled flat wine bottles, adding sustainability to your kitchen

  • A unique upcycled home decor item that’s also super functional

  • Ideal for wine lovers, eco-conscious hosts, or anyone who loves a good cheese board

Not only does this board make for a stylish and sustainable addition to your kitchen, but it also makes for an awesome gift for those who love eco-friendly entertaining.
