Candle-holder making…
Yes, it IS exciting as it sounds. Well, actually it really was a lot of fun. Being me, I have a lot of candles, and of course, a lack of candle holders. So I had come up with a genius idea and started asking my mom to save the pasta sauce jars after she’s done with them (very cheap candle holders, but I can decorate them and make them look cool. WHICH. I. DID. sorry, bad caps lock, down caps lock). Having several candle holder options, and several ideas, and a friend coming over to visit. It made for an interesting night.
Pictures of the process are beneath the cut. I’m very proud with how the candle holders came out. I’ve already enjoyed using them several times. 
This candle holder I bought at Michaels though - because I had been looking for something like this, having a very specific idea in mind.
Tea? What does this have to do with candle-holders… *suspense*
WHY ARE YOU PUTTING RICE IN TEA *more suspense*?! (to dye it, is the answer, if you’re curious)
my friend rocking away on her candle holder.
Stamps, you ask? Admit it, I’m intriguing you now.
She continues to rock at her candle holder while I leave you in suspense.
Oh, so that’s what I did with the Michael’s candle holder… if you were curious. And of course, it involves none of the above random suspenseful pictures, so I’m not really easing much of your curiosity am I?
I was slightly disappointed it came out so purplish - I was hoping more redpink than purplepink.

also where I put the rice, if you were wondering. it really adds something to it i think.
notice: i technically started the process for this one on the 16th, but didn’t actually make it till the 17th. i like how it came out though
oh, and if you were wondering how they look illuminated in the dark:
