This is the shimmer candle I just made tonight. I found this great idea through Emily at Remodeling this Life. You can find the post
here. I love shimmery/sparkly things at Christmastime.
5 things, that's it. Takes less than 5 minutes to do! A candle, paper plate, cheap foam brush, some mod podge, and epsom salt.
First, spread mod podge around the candle until it is coated.
Then roll it in epsom salt (I know its hard to see the salt on the plate). Roll it around a few times.
And there ya go! Super easy and you could even do this with your kids!

LOVE it! What a great way to spice up those boring candles!!! Now I'm thinking of all the things I could make 'shimmery'...
ReplyDeleteVery nice and very easy!!! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Great idea, thank you for the inspiration! :)
ReplyDeleteoh yeah! gonna shimmer everything now! thank you!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! EmbracingBeauty.com recommended this do-it-yourself project.
ReplyDeleteThat is so neat! I'm certainly going to try that! It would dress up even ugly candles!
ReplyDeleteMaybe a dumb question, but is it safe to use Mod Podge on a candle you plan to light? I thought it was flamable.
ReplyDeleteI love it!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteExcellent idea!!! I'm always looking for crafts that I can do with my kids. :) These would make amazing gifts for their teachers, grandparents, aunties. So glad you shared!!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!!!
Good question Renee - i love this but would worry....
ReplyDeleteI love this would you agree to guest posting on my blog for my Handmade for Christmas Celebration?
ReplyDeleteWould like to see some more of your decorating things furniture or crafts. This is cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to my project! Yours look great!!
ReplyDeleteFYI - mod podge is non-flammable!!
ReplyDeleteIf you don't have mod podge you could use Elmer's glue, the results would be the same.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! A new follower here! I am going to have to try this next week with the kiddies! Everyone uses Mod Podge and I never have...going to have to start!
ReplyDeleteAlso a new follower! Cute idea with the candles. And it is a great project that kids can work on. I'm always looking for new crafty ideas for the kids! :o) Thanks

Thanks for linking up! I love this epsom salt project...and to think I only used it for baths...
ReplyDeleteHope to see you back soon,
Nicolette
you could also use Modge Podge Shimmer or Modge Podge Glitter...wonder what Modge Podge Glow in the Dark would look like?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I just started embellishing candles myself. I'm your 43rd follower.
