How to Hide Ugly Candle Labels Using a Sock!

I absolutely love lighting candles at night, especially in the fall. I recently picked up a few new ones, but I’m not in love with the look of the candle jars. The labels are just so big and u-g-l-y and the thought of soaking them to get the labels off sounds like a lot of work.
That’s when I came up with this idea for a simple fall candle holder to hide those ugly labels. For the full tutorial, head to this blog post.
Here's my candle before with the big ugly sticker on it.
I then grabbed a sock and fabric scissors.
Finding a sock was actually the hardest part of this project. You’ll want one that is pretty thick and I prefer the look of a cable knit or wool sock for added texture. A regular white sock might not look so pretty, so I’d avoid using that.
Oh, and make sure it’s clean too. No one wants to use a stinky sock when DIY’ing.
Now make sure you use fabric scissors to cut the foot of the sock off. Trust me, it will be a heck of a lot easier to use fabric scissors as opposed to just regular ones.
After a few minutes, you've got a cozy fall candle to display in your home.

Wow! So many possibilities with the socks, too.
Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Would the sock be a fire hazard if the candle is lit for an extended time period?
so how do you keep the sock from unraveling? did you sew it?
