My Favorite Project UNITY CANDLE by Abbysmommy




Supplies:
1 large pillar candle
2 yards thin lace/trim of your choice
1 yard pearl bead garland
2 fake wedding bands (I used silver)
Ribbon to tie wedding bands together
hot glue gun/hot glue
Mod Podge
Heavy paper, your choice of colors - I used a business type paper with a blue marble design for this candle

Using your computer printer, print a verse on the heavy paper. (Be sure and leave plenty of space at the bottom for gluing on wedding rings) Mine says:



Cut words out in an oval (I used an oval shape on my computer to go by). Mod podge the back of the oval and stick to candle. Mod podge over the top and allow to dry.

Starting at the bottom of the oval, hot glue lace (mine is a crocheted type lace/trim) around the oval, barely covering the edge, to form a frame. Repeat using bead garland. Repeat again using trim.

Tie artificial wedding bands together with ribbon. Hot glue at the bottom under names and date.

I probably had about $8 in this candle...and they sell for $25 most places without being personalized. This was a HUGE money saver for this couple!!

This is a great idea. What a nice and thoughtful gift for a new couple...and one that you know they are going to use!

Great job!! Thank you for sharing!!

This is great! I have several weddings this year still and am in 2 of them so this might be something that I have to think about doing!
