Valentine Candle Centerpiece Project

January 20, 2012 by SandraW

Valentine’s Day is a time for love and celebration, and what better way to set the mood than with a beautiful DIY candle centerpiece? This project is not only simple to make, but it also incorporates upcycling, making it an eco-friendly choice. To get started, you’ll need an old CD, ribbon, stickers, glue, and a vase. These materials can easily be found at your local craft store or repurposed from items you may have around the house.

The first step is to create the candle base using the old CD. You can use any type of CD you have, but a plain silver or white one works best. Simply glue the candle to the center of the CD, and then decorate the edges of the CD with ribbon or stickers to create a festive look.

Once your candle base is complete, it’s time to move on to the garland. The garland is what really makes this centerpiece shine, and you can customize it to suit your personal style. Using different colors and textures of ribbon or paper, cut them into small pieces and tie them onto a piece of string or twine. You can also add stickers or other embellishments to make it more festive.

Once your garland is complete, you can wrap it around the vase and secure it with glue or tape. Then, simply place the candle base in the vase, and you’re done! This centerpiece is not only beautiful, but it also creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for your Valentine’s Day celebration.

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)

Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster

Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.

That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.

What Are Calm Down Sheets?

These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.

They’re perfect for:

Rage coloring during a hot flash

Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly

Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils

Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative

Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause

There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.
