6 Ways To Brighten Your Candles For Spring

March 28, 2014 by Larissa Coleman

 

6waystobrightenyourcandles

As the seasons change, so do the colors that we see around us. In the spring and summer months, vibrant shades of green, pink, and yellow seem to burst forth from every corner of the natural world, bringing a sense of joy and new beginnings. Similarly, the fall and winter months bring with them a rich palette of warm oranges, deep reds, and soothing blues that help us to settle in for a season of cozy comfort.

One great way to embrace these changing colors and bring a little extra warmth and beauty into your home is through the use of candles. Candles can be a fantastic way to create a welcoming atmosphere in any room, whether you’re looking to relax with a book, entertain friends and family, or simply enjoy some quiet time alone.

But why settle for plain white or unscented candles when you can easily add a little more color and personality to your space? With just a few simple steps, you can transform your candles from plain to eye-catching, adding a pop of color that will brighten up any room.

Some of the easiest ways to add color to your candles involve using materials that you may already have around your home. For example, you can easily upcycle old candles by melting them down and adding in bits of crayons or other colored wax to create a marbled effect. Alternatively, you could try painting your candles with acrylic or watercolor paints, adding brushstrokes or other designs for a truly unique look.

Other methods may require a bit more effort, but the results can be truly stunning. For example, you could try using tissue paper or colored wax paper to create a stained glass effect on your candles, or use a heat gun to melt layers of colored wax onto the surface of your candles, creating a textured, multi-dimensional effect.

Whatever method you choose, the key is to embrace the beauty and creativity that comes with adding a little extra color to your candles. Whether you’re looking to create a cozy atmosphere for yourself or share your love of colorful candles with friends and family, these simple tips are sure to brighten up your space and your mood. So why wait? Start exploring the world of colorful candles today!
