... Read moreCreating an under the sea floating candle is a creative and budget-friendly way to add coastal charm to your home decor. This project uses easily accessible materials from Dollar Tree and Hobby Lobby, ensuring affordability without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. Key materials include a small fishbowl-shaped glass container, floating candles, colored sand, smooth pebble sea glass, mosaic sea glass, assorted sea shells, sea stars, plastic sea creatures, and super glue. To start, select your preferred colored sand and add a designed amount into the fishbowl. Incorporate a variety of sea glass pieces, combining different colors and textures to add depth and interest. Next, carefully arrange sea shells and starfish to create a natural underwater scene. Including small plastic sea creatures adds a playful and authentic touch. Once your base design is complete, add water to the bowl and place the floating candle on top. For added customization, super glue a sea creature to the outside of the bowl, enhancing decorative appeal. The entire process results in a uniquely personal candle centerpiece that evokes the serenity of ocean life. This DIY project not only enhances creativity but also provides an excellent gift idea or a relaxing activity. With an estimated cost of around $4 per candle, it is an affordable way to craft memorable decor. Leveraging clearance prices and multipurpose bags containing multiple items maximizes value and allows making several candles from a single purchase. Incorporating this floating candle into your home or event decor adds an elegant aquatic ambiance, perfect for beach-themed parties or cozy living spaces. This project also encourages sustainable crafting by utilizing long-lasting decorations like glass and sea shells. Overall, the under the sea floating candle craft invites both beginners and seasoned DIYers to enjoy a fun, artistic, and cost-effective project that brings a splash of ocean beauty indoors.

DIY oversized candle
I took my obsession for candles + fluted planters and turned it into an oversized dyi candle. Not only are oversized candles hard to find, but they are also fairly overpriced. They usually range between $110-$130 but I was able to make one for only $42. To make this candle, I used a 12” planter
