Like most females, I love candles. I love most scents and colors and to me, a room isn't complete unless there is a candle in it. My personal favorite is the evergreen tree scent that fills the shelves this time of year. I try to stock up so I can get that scent through out the year. But candles aren't just about fragrances, they are about looks as well. And I've compiled some links here to give you all some great ideas for customizing your own candles to fit the look you are going for. Some of these would even be great activities to do with kids while they are home for Christmas break. So check them out and let me know what you think.

A fun and simple project that has a beautiful outcome. Great for tealights, especially if your use different dyes to create an array of colors.

As soon as I saw these, I fell in love. They are so cute and a great way to recycle. These would be wonderful party favors.

So simple, and adds warmth to a room on top of just having a candle. It's a great way to bring the outdoors, indoors. Also, I've seen this done with cinnamon sticks as well. Awesome.

This project has more room to customize, because you can do any design you want on your candles. From simple patterns to images that fit with the decor of the room.
