Ok so in a previous post I made some candles and one of them came out UGLY!! So I decided to get out some craft supplies and get to work.
Here is the link to how I made the candles.

The ugly candle, some burlap looking ribbon from the Dollar Tree, double sided tape from Elizabeth craft designs and some burlap flowers. I think they came from Target's dollar spot,
I cut the ribbon long enough to wrap around the jar and I tore the sticky tape and stuck to the ribbon.
I used the same tape on the flower.
Wrap and adhere the ribbon and center the flower. One down, let's try some other stuff, shall we. ![icon](https://cdn-fastly.hometalk.com/resources/design/emojis/1f913.png)

Some leftovers from my fall scarecrow wreaths
Pull the plastic veins off the silk leaves.
Stick on some of that sticky tape.
Stick the leaves on the jar. here I overlapped a few leaves and tied a piece of raffia around.
This one I stuck a few pieces of the tape to jar first.
Then I wrapped a few pieces of raffia around. now you could stop here for a simple look but I added leaves to this one too.
Stick on a few leaves.
I then decided to add a burlap flower to this one too
I had to include a photo of my little thief. He wanted that raffia so bad.
These are the four candles I decorated. The left center I forgot to take pictures of as I went. But, it was just a piece of leafy looking fall ribbon that I put the sticky tape on like I did for the first candle with the burlap ribbon. I then took the last bit that was left on the spool (I did say these were made with the left overs) It wasn't big enough for a bow so I just fan folded it. Stuck on some of the sticky tape and stuck it on.
Enjoyed the project?
Suggested materials:
- Premade candles (I made them see link to other post)

I saw on one website to use mode podge and Epsom salts. Looked really awesome in the pics!
Good luck, and happy crafting!
