I love to recycle. I love the primitive look and I love to be creative. All of these aspects about me lead to this fun candle container project.
Maybe you have seen these around and are wondering how they have made a grungy can candle. It is so easy.
Materials Needed:
- Mod Podge
- Small Paint Brush
- Black Spray Paint
- Spices Your Choice or coffee grounds
- Tin Can from your recyle bin
- Wax
- Wick
- Fragrance oil
1. Make sure your can is clean. Clean out any leftover food residue. Mine was a chilly can. I definitely did not want my candle smelling like chilly when burned
2. Spray paint your tin can as many times as needed to cover the can fully. I sprayed mine 3 times before I covered it
3. Paint on a layer of mod podge with your paint brush
4. Shake your spice all over the can and cover it as much as you want
5. Let it dry
6. I went to my handy dandy office word program and printed out some words to put on my can
7. I took a lit match and singed the edges of the paper containing my chosen words
8. Mod podge your candle tin again. Place your picture on the candle and mod podge on that
9. Let everything dry
10. Glue and center your wick to the bottom of the can
11. Have your wax and fragrance oil all ready mixed and pour into the can
Viola!! Your primitive grungy can candle look.
I am going to make quite a few of these up for my family with scripture on the label. What do you do to dress up your cans?
Many Blessings,
