DIY and Crafts — candle holders

These DIY colorful candles in geometric shapes were inspired by my favorite Memphis design group shapes. Candle making is a new craft for me, but I must say that I am obsessed.

If you’re an avid gardener, or even just an amateur, then this craft will be right in your wheelhouse. I raided my flower garden for some fresh blooms, then used the petals to craft this DIY flower petal tea cup candle. I can’t believe how simple the steps yet how stunning the results!
