DIY and Crafts — valentines day

If you thought the edible friendship bracelet skewers I made were cool, then you’ll love my latest take on the trend: Edible friendship bracelet drink markers! This craft has the sweetest retro childhood vibes with a decidedly adult (read: boozy) spin. But of course you could use them for any type of drinks, from mimosas at a Galentine’s brunch to mocktails at a teen slumber party and more. I leaned into the Taylor Swift theme, but you don’t have to be a Swiftie to get in on the fun! Drink markers are a practical way to reduce waste at parties as well...

As much as I love ALL of the colors, today I’m using classic Valentine’s Day pink and red to craft up some candles and candle holders inspired by the bow trend. First, I’ll show you how I made the DIY bow candles. I used pink and red wax craft sticks to form little bows, then stuck them onto coordinating taper candles. You can check out the DIY video for the taper candles here, and the one for the bow candle holders right here!
