Make Designer Decoupaged Candles

Dress up your plain battery-operated candles with a pretty designer treatment. Over at Crafting Rebellion, The Rebel Crafter decoupaged some pretty Vera Bradley paper napkins to inexpensive dollar store candles - and these candles are flameless, so you can use them forever. [how to make designer decoupaged candles]

As of the writing of this post, paper napkins at Vera Bradley are less than $5 a package, which will make at least 20 candles! This would be a great bridal shower favor. Of course, you can scour the paper goods section at your local dollar store (or even Target), and find cool napkins for $1 and up.

Project Estimate:

Battery-operated candle, $1
Paper napkins, $1 and up
Mod Podge, on hand

Total: $2 and up

WOW these are breath taking… I would have never thought to make something like this! I’ll have to go to my Dollar Tree to see if they have them so I can make some holiday inspired candles!

My local Dollar Tree Stores do not have these candles.- (South Carolina) I think each store orders items that they think will sale at their location.
Great Idea for gifts or craft fair sale items.
