This is one of those “why didn’t think of that?” kind of crafts. It’s such a simple idea but has a great, eye-catching impact! The clever crafters behind these candles are the gals at Spark & Chemistry, who also have some great tips for getting the best results from this project. The tutorial uses votives, but you could also do this with various sizes of candles to create a matching set! [how to make thumb tack votive candles]

Project estimate:

• Candles, on hand or $1
• Thumb tacks, $1 and up

Total:  $1 and up
