Citrus candles are just the beginning of what you can do with a bit of patience and time on your hands. Bloggers from all over the Internet have come up with distinct ways to turn candle-related products into a fun, at-home design activity.
The Almost Makes Perfect blog is one such site that shows people how to take a regular drugstore candle and turn it into a stylish piece of packaging. For those that want to make these, just go to her blog and print out the pre-made labels to stick on a few of those bland candle designs. It's amazing what a difference these small details make to how one thinks the candles smell too for some people making these designs!
