Recently I was asked to take the Staples #HandmadeHolidays Craft Challenge where I could create a new craft using anything from their store. As most of you know, I’m more of a baker than a crafter so I actually was a little panicked with this project. It’s very easy for me to come up with a new way to make a pasta dish but not as easy to think of a Holiday Craft.
For today’s crafts I decided I would keep it simple, Christmas is only a couple weeks away and most of us are looking for easy crafts to make at this point. I made three different DIY Candle Crafts using Tea Light Candles I picked up from Staples. Check out how a Food Blogger like myself can still make adorable Christmas Crafts with the help of Staples!
Three DIY Candle Crafts for Christmas
How to Make Sprinkle Tea Light Candles
Materials You Need
Package of Tea Lights from Staples
Christmas Sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees
Place six tea lights on a cookie sheet lined with Parchment paper
Stick the Tea Lights in the oven for about 5 minutes or until the wax is melted
Next, sprinkle the top with the Sprinkles while the wax is melted
Let it dry and harden back up with the spinkles in the candle
These would be really cute for a birthday too – just use different colored sprinkles!
How to Make Washi Tape Tea Candles
Materials You Need
Tea Light Candles from Staples
Washi Tape – there is a HUGE selection of colors at Staples!
Instructions
Pick the Washi Tape color you want to use and cut a piece that will wrap all the way around the Tea Light Candle
Place the tape on the candle and be sure to press it firmly
If it is wider than you need, simply fold the rest under onto the bottom of the candle.
I stuck a few into a Plastic Cello Bag and added some Bakers Twine to make a little gift with a couple that I made. It turned out adorable!
How to make a Coffee Bean Tea Light Votive
Materials You Need
Instructions
Fill the Mason Jar 3/4 of the way full with Coffee Beans
Place a Tea Light Candle into the coffee beans and light the candle!
This makes your home smell amazing! I have one near me when I’m working and it is heavenly!
These were all so simple to make but every one of them is really adorable! I’m loving all the new ways I can use products that I hadn’t thought of, thanks to Staples for getting the creative juices flowing for the Holiday season!
