DIY Grunge Candle

October 17, 2014 by Shellie Wilson

Candles are a staple in any household, providing a warm and cozy atmosphere to any room. However, sometimes the store-bought candles can lack that personal touch you’re looking for. That’s where the idea of an upcycled or revamped candle comes in. Not only is it a fun and creative project, but it also helps to reduce waste and repurpose items you may already have on hand.

One popular method for revamping candles is creating grunge candles. These candles offer a unique, rustic appearance and a pleasant scent that can be customized to your liking. Grunge candles are also an excellent project for tweens or young ones who want to get involved in candle-making without the risk of working with hot wax.

To create a grunge candle, you’ll need a few materials, including a store-bought candle, some spices, and mod podge. The spices will add texture and color to the candle, while the mod podge will help to adhere the spices to the candle’s surface. The process is simple and straightforward, making it a fun and easy project for anyone to try.

Not only is creating grunge candles a fun and creative activity, but it’s also a great way to add a personal touch to your home decor. You can customize the spices and scents to your liking, making each candle unique and special. Plus, it’s a great way to reduce waste and give new life to an old, boring candle.

If you’re interested in learning how to make your own grunge candles, be sure to check out the full tutorial. You’ll find step-by-step instructions and tips to help you create the perfect candle for your home. So, grab some spices, mod podge, and a store-bought candle, and get ready to create a one-of-a-kind grunge candle that will add warmth and personality to any room.

DIY Shirt Extender – Sewing Pattern

I like having a little extra coverage when I wear leggings, but I could never find a cute top that was just the right length. So I decided to make this Easy Sew Shirt Extender! This is so simple to sew and is an easy sewing project for beginners. It is easy to layer under your shirt or top of choice and I added some lace trim to mine for a fancier look. You can mix and match colors and fabrics to suit your needs!
