Thank you all so much for such amazing feedback and for helping this project circulate all over the internet! My cups have held up pretty well due to not being used too often (they are currently just holding bobby pins in my bathroom) but several readers said after a little wear and tear, the paint comes off. Other readers have found that using paint specifically for glass leads to a much longer life! In the comments, readers have specifically stated that Martha Stewart Paints and DecoArt paints have lasted the best. I have used both, and love them both!
DIY Orange Candles
Posted on May 16, 2012 by Christina Candles – made from oranges? Brilliant, huh? I love when DIY wedding projects are simple – and this one is as simple as they come!
Who doesn’t love a little glitter in their lives? Add in the glow of a candle, and you’re all set. This glitter candle was probably the easiest Have & Make yet. Spray the inside of a small vase or candle holder with spray adhesive, sprinkle and shake around with glitter until the surface area of the vase is completely covered. I would recommend using the larger flakes of glitter as opposed to the very fine powdery variety – you get more impact of the shimmering flakes through the glass than you would with the latter.

Hi friends! I wanted to share these super easy candle votives I made in like 2 seconds this weekend. It involved basically finding whatever craft supplies I had lying around the house (doilies, yarn, twine) and wrapping them around some glass jars. They create some really pretty romantic light. (Perfect for Valentine's Day, wink wink!) I have to admit, before I turned these jars into candle votives, they were still holding candy canes from Christmas time!
DIY Valentine's Day Candle Votive
I love candles and candle holders. They are what you call in Dutch ‘gezellig’ (cosy). The simple glass ones are really cheap and you can find a lot of them in thrift stores. These lace candle holders are made with those candle holders but you can use small drink glasses for this project to! The full instruction continues after the jump . . . What you need

Today I'll show you how to make an interesting yet simple decorative candle. You can give it as a gift, use it to decorate your home or find any other suitable use for it. You will need: a candle to decorate, white or natural colorMaking this lantern was a bit of an experiment. I wasn't quite sure if it would work but when I imagined the glow of a candle through a kaleidoscope of fall leaves...I just had to try it! If you want to create these too, it is so SIMPLE! First collect some vibrant leaves (we gathered from the sumac tree ~ glowing red right now in our backyard) and press them.
Luminous Leaf Lanterns
1) Who said baked beans and a naked flame don’t mix… 2) …hey, don’t get too close (just in case). For this week’s craft I’ve rested my son’s felt-tip pens and pursued one of my other passions, creating beautiful things out of junk – in this case an elegant tea light holder made from an empty tin of Heinz Baked Beans (the beans on toast were pretty good as well).
