D.I.Y New Year's Eve Glitter Candles



This D.I.Y. New Year's Eve Glitter Candles are a nice and super easy way to add some flare to your New Year's Eve party. Even though the Candles say 2013 you can change the numbers to letters and make them say anything you like. 

What you need:
  • Candles (White works the best)
  • Glitter (You can either use different colors or the same)
  • Removable sticky letters or numbers
  • Liquid glue
  • Plate (Disposable) 
The first thing you will need to do is get your candles, you need one candle for each number or letter you will be putting on. So in this case you will need four white candles, personally I think white works the best and makes it really stand out.

1. Take your candles and place the removable number stickers directly on the middle of the candle. Make sure it is firmly on so when put the glitter on you won't get any under the numbers and get a messy looking line.

2. The next step is to take your liquid glue and you can either do it in sections or all at once, I think if you do it all at once it looks a bit better and neater.

3. Once you have painted your candle sprinkle glitter all over your candle, the best way to do this step is over a plate. Sprinkle the glitter, then rub your candle in the plate of glitter just to make sure you have covered everything, and then last tap your candle to get all the excess glitter off. If you have glitter left in the plate fold the plate in half (that is why disposable works the best.) and funnel it back into the bottle that your glitter originally came in. You can use any glitter weather it be the same color or different, what ever you want. 

4. Repeat these steps to all of your candles, and let them dry over night.

These are a lot of fun to make and are a great way to decorate, and jazz up anything from your room to a snack table at a party. They make great gifts too.
