Equipment

  • Pair of scissors

Ingredients

  • Plain candles – I used 2 white candles.
  • Washi Tape design of your choice
  • Squared cardboard or a box lid Optional
  • A cute tag.

Instructions

  • I made 3 candles with the same washi tape pattern but made different decorations on each candle.
  • On the first candle, I applied washi tape only on the bottom of the candle and on the top creating horizontal stripes.
  • For the second candle, I applied the tape in stripes diagonally all over the candle.
  • And the last one, I applied the tape in vertical stripes.
  • This step is totally optional but since these were meant to be a gift, I decided to create a base.
  • I had this cardboard box lid around and put it to use. Applied some washi tape around the sides of the lid. Placed and glued one candle on each corner and on the last corner
  • Finally, the last touch was gluing a cute tag I got from a craft magazine that says “Just for you”.

Notes

You can skip the cardboard box and place them in a cellophane bag or on your own candle holders. It's totally up to you!
