Dollar Store Candle Makeover...


I just love these "prayer" candles that my local Dollar Store carries. They can be altered in SO many ways. Here's my simple "makeover" of them...


...take some old French book pages....




...some graphics like these....



**The original graphics for this project and a similar tutorial can be found at Debbie's delightful blog:
(I changed my font/images to "grey")


...run them through your printer.....





...and use glue or double-stick tape to adhere them to your candles.


Voila!
Happy day Mes Amies!
