Just Add Ribbon and a Giveaway
I already had the ribbon out because of making ribbon flowers, so I thought I’d make some candles and bottles a little more festive. Who knew that adding ribbon and a few other embellishments could make a candle look so dramatic? Here’s what I did.
Before: Naked candles.
After: No more naked candles. Burlap ribbon, yellow ribbon and orange berries dress them up.
Close-up: They smell good too.
Burlap covered bottles with ribbons amd buttons add the finishing touches.
Such a fast and easy way to punch up your candles and bottles for the holidays. I’m linking to Show and Tell Friday at My Romantic Home, Creative Cats Friday at Poppies at Play and Saturday Nite Special at Funky Junk Interiors. I’m also linking to Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps On The Porch, DIY Day at A Soft Place To Land, Trash to Treasure at Reinvented and Get Your Craft On at Today’s Creative Blog. Also Frugal Friday at The Shabby Nest.
Have a Beautiful Weekend!

Stopping by from Funky Junk~Saturday Night Special. Love how you add some style to your candles. Very cute.
I too would love to know where you got your burlap ribbon. I checked our Michael’s today, no luck. Burlap was suggested, by commenters on my blog, for my cowboy Christmas tree and I would love to find some. Please stop by anytime.
I love the burlap ribbon–it really changes the look.
