Last week when I was in the middle of gluing glitter to everything in my sight, I had a thought. . . what if I were to use a double stick tape to create some glittery stripes to candles and vases. No mess (well less mess) and a great way to add sparkle to simple white candles. When I stopped by our neighborhood Blick art supply store to pick up the permanent double sided tape, what caught my eye was a package of gold foil. So after a few hours of experimental taping, glittering and foiling candles, cylinder vases and glass bowls, here are the results. This is a great project to add sparkle to your home or desk as well as a great decoration for parties, bridal showers and DIY wedding decor. These glittery candles are perfect accents to our gold wedding invitation designs. I promise you will be seeing more foiled crafts and projects coming up in the near future so go get your pack of gold, copper or silver foil leaf. ~ Lia

oh great. i like very much
Lia, these candles are gorgeous! I wasjust curious to know if the glitter/ tape posed any type of fire hazard once the candles are lit.
Not that I can see. The candle I used melts in the middle so it tunnels out leaving the glitter in place.
Gold colors are always gorgeous and especially when you add glitters! I would like to try one myself in silverish design! Thanks for sharing Lia!
I am all about silver! Silver foil projects are coming up. :-)
oh so beatiful.. thanks for sharing
You are so welcome.
