Birch Candles

I wanted to do something fun that would maybe get me excited about Christmas, so I started looking for a fun craft. I found a tutorial here for some pretty candles, but I changed it up a little. 

It really was easy. 

 I used these colors, and some cream colored pillar candles that I've had forever. 

 I got a birch branch (from this post) and noticed that it has black speckles all over it. 

 So after I painted some lighter brown horizontal streaks on, I added a few black "knots" and some black speckles. I didn't paint the top of the candle. I just liked the top left cream colored. 

 Then it was as easy as spraying the whole thing with spray adhesive and rolling it in Epsom salts. 

And that was it! Easy, fun and cost almost nothing. 

Thanks for reading!
