Crayon-Colored Candles

The DIY Dip-Dyed Candles Make Your Home a More Relaxing Yet Colorful Place

If you love decorating your space with candles and also have a passion for craft projects, you will love these DIY dip-dyed candles. From Madisyn at the Free People blog, the project requires unscented, plain white pillar candles and crayons. You will also need a peeler or knife as well as a double boiler or nested heat-proof vessel (for example a tin bucket or coffee tin).

The color of the crayons you use is entirely up to you. Madisyn's DIY dip-dyed candles used a variety of blue hues inspired by The Wash Shop. The result is homemade decor you can personalize to match your home and personality.

Other DIY candles are also available on the Free People blog.
