For this project, you need pillar candles, red craft paint, painter’s tape, and a paint brush.\u00a0 I bought some pillar candles at Ikea, but you can find them at most craft stores or here<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00a0 Decide how wide you want the stripes on your candles to be, and then add the tape.\u00a0 Make sure it is sealed well around the edges so that the paint won’t seep under the tape and ruin your project.\u00a0 You can use a credit card to seal down the edges.\u00a0 Even doing this, my candles still had some leakage, but that’s okay.\u00a0 It only shows up in these photos.\u00a0 In real life, there’s so much going on that the occasional uneven line doesn’t look too bad.\u00a0 Then use a foam paint brush or a craft paint brush, and apply the paint.\u00a0 It might take more than one coat.\u00a0 Let the paint dry between coats.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0 <\/p>\n When you are finished, you might want to glue on a little bit of holly or other greenery just to make it look even more festive.\u00a0 These candles are more for looks than for burning because the paint is not flame proof.\u00a0 They look really cute on a big candle holder or in a lantern.\u00a0 Find an adorable similar lantern here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0 If you liked this simple project, you can do it in just a matter of minutes.\u00a0 However, if you like the look but don’t want to do the craft, here’s a similar candle <\/a>all ready for you.\u00a0 If you want some cute matches to go with your candle, we have some DIY Christmas matches here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Take care.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Affiliate links used.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today we are going to show you a simple candle craft that is very kid-friendly.
