Tutorial Thursday - DIY Christmas Gifts: Chalkboard Candle!

Quick note: I know we are a day off, we apologize, ALOT. But don't you worry, we have an excuse!
On Thursday, both Sarah and I had to attend a band concert that took 3 whole hours! But here is a day late Tutorial Thursday!

DIY Chalkboard Candle


This is the finished product (above.)


First, pick out the candle you would like to use. This candle works well because the container is made of glass. It is by Glade and part of their winter holiday collection, it was $3, not bad, right?


Fold a piece of paper in half and draw half of a heart.


Then cut it out and unfold it so it's in the shape of a symmetrical heart.


Cut and tape a few more hearts where you would like them.


Get out some chalkboard paint now. You can find this at any hardware or art store!


Paint the whole outside area of the container with 2
coats, I made the mistake of going over the hears, (Its harder to peel off!) so try
to avoid them as much as possible! 


When it dries, peel off the paper and tape, and you're done! Enjoy your chalkboard candles. They are
a great gift everyone will admire!
