Spring Candle DIY

 Looking to add a touch of Spring to your décor? This is a super easy project & it uses one of my favorite crafting items... napkins!

I recently discovered the store Pop Shelf...just in time for them to go out of business. While they were still open, I bought some of their taper candles with a plan to give them a makeover for Spring.

The most important part of working with paper napkins, in this case decoupage, is separating the layers. If you don't, they won't adhere properly.

I added an even coat of ModPodge to the bottom half of each taper candle. 

After cutting the napkin to size, allowing for a slight overlap, I placed the napkin over the wet ModPodge. I added ModPodge over the napkin where the overlap would be, then coated the entire napkin with more ModPodge. I left the bottom portion of the candle uncovered where it will insert into the candle holders.

I found these cute tiny clay chips at Hobby Lobby. Since they match the napkin perfectly, I decided to add them to the candles.

I poured the chips out onto parchment paper.

The 3 inches above the napkin got a generous coat of Mod Podge.

Then I rolled the candles in the clay chips.

Any areas that appeared too bare, got more ModPodge & more chips.

I  really like the texture from the clay chips. I'll be sharing the real reason I bought them soon!
