I’m not sure about you, but I’m a scented candle fan.  Although I am a little picky about which scents I buy.  One of my absolute favorites is Lilac, so when I saw these candles on clearance for a quarter, I just couldn’t leave it on the shelf.  While it was riding around in my basket, I wanted to stamp on it.  But I also wanted to be able to burn it.  Hmmm……I thought about it for a while and then came up with the idea to make a belly band.  Then I can pull it off while I’m burning the candle and slide it back on when it’s just sitting.

But, I don’t have any lilac flower stamps, unfortunately, so I had to find something that would work.  I settled on Heartfelt Thanks stamped in Pale Plum and Pefect Plum.  Then I cut out around the flowers.

The actual belly band is So Saffron card stock.  The leaves are a 5 Petal Flower punched from Kiwi Kiss and cut apart.

I attached most things with just a spot or two of SNAIL so it would stand off the candle a little bit, the top flower is attached with a dimensional, so it stands out a bit more.

These little candles would be quick and easy favors for a bridal shower or fun place settings at a dinner.  You could make them in any color, even Christmas colors.  Hmmm……maybe I’ll have to go back and find some more candles. 

If you’re interested in ordering the supplies it took to make this project, please email me, and I’ll be happy to get you set up.

Happy Labor Day!
