8 Candles For Your Christmas Decorating

November 7, 2014 by Larissa Coleman

The holiday season is just around the corner, and what better way to get into the spirit of Christmas than by crafting your own festive candles? With these 8 candle decor ideas, you can add a perfect touch to your holiday decorating and even give them as gifts to your loved ones. Whether you’re a seasoned DIYer or a beginner, these projects are easy and quick to make, and they are sure to put you in the holiday spirit.

There are many ways to make Christmas candles, from scratch or decorating a ready-made store candle. If you’re on a budget, you can find affordable candles at discount stores like Dollar Tree, and then use your creativity to turn them into beautiful Christmas decor. For example, you could use glitter or spray paint to add a touch of sparkle to a plain white candle, or wrap a ribbon around the candle for a simple and elegant look.

Another great option is to use a mason jar as a candle holder. Mason jars are affordable and versatile, and they can be decorated in many ways to suit your Christmas theme. You could fill the jar with pine cones, berries, or other festive items and then place a candle inside for a cozy and rustic look. Alternatively, you could paint the jar in red or green and add some Christmas stencils or stickers for a more traditional holiday vibe.

To add some scent to your Christmas candles, you can use Christmas-scented essential oils, such as cinnamon, peppermint, or orange. These oils will not only create a cozy and inviting atmosphere but also have many health benefits, such as reducing stress and boosting your mood.
