With the crisp, chilly weather of fall comes the urge to cuddle up indoors. Reflect the change in climate with some simple changes in your decor. One of the easiest changes you can make? Incorporating candles in your home. Just grab a blanket and some PJs and you’ll be ready for a cozy night in no time! Here are some candle DIYs for inspiration.
Holiday Adaptations
Though these egg-shaped candle holders created by Lidy of Hello DIY look like the perfect addition to an Easter centerpiece, the wooden accents would make lovely decor for any time of the year. Switch the soft metallic blue paint for a rusty orange or shimmery gold, and you’ll have autumn-inspired holders in no time.
These poinsettia-inspired candles by Stephanie of Garden Therapy would be a hit at a holiday party. But a simple tweak to the colors can transform the traditional winter floral into a colorful leaf arrangement. Use a combination of yellow, orange and red petals to mimic the look of turning leaves.
Dainty Designs
The dainty nature of this candle DIY featured on Wedding Chicks will make you want to throw an impromptu tea party! Set these on the table during your next brunch or lunch party, and the floral decor will be a sure hit among your guests. Match the teacups to your saucers for a uniform appearance.
Though Erika of Style Me Green made these gorgeous teacup candles in response to an emergency, the pretty accents are great to have on hand for any occasion. If teacups are too dainty for you, use coffee mugs for a more casual display.
Nothing screams delicate like a crochet doily. This intricate DIY featured by Jaime of The Excited Bride will add a dose of charm to a dim lit room. Line a set of these on a window sill at night for a unique light display.
