Now that Valentine’s Day is over we can focus on Easter candle making projects.

How did your Valentine’s Day candles go?  I hope you had a lovely day!

It is now only 2 months to Valentine’s Day.

It would be a lovely present to give your loved one a specially made Valentine’s candle.

Here are some ideas for you to ponder:

• make a red pillar candle and hang a heart shape around it
• make a red heart shaped candle
• make some floating candles which could be red and float them in clear water or color the water red and make some colored candles to float on top
• find some red highball glasses and create a romantic scene with a some tealights in them
• if you can’t find red highball glasses, wrap some red cellophane around clear highball glasses and use those (take care that the paper is taped at the top outside the glass so that it is not free to blow in any wind – use double sided tape on the outside rim of the glass to secure any paper used

Start planning a project now and you will have plenty of time to have it finished by Valentine’s Day.
