I had 5 plain, boring candles and I had 2 pr. of children's socks I bought from the dollar store.
I thought if you can make a coffee cozie why can't you make a cozie for your old boring candles. That is what I did.
This is a very easy DIY project.
First step gather your supplies.
You need candles
Socks in your color choice
Embellishments (I used these felt stickers that I bought from JoAnns, I also bought these scrapbooking borders but decided against using them when I started playing.
Step two.
Cut your socks.
Cut at the heel line and
at the toe.
Step Three.
Slip the sock on your candle.
Embellish
Aren't these much better than the plain white candles?
I'll have another Valentine's Day project for my mantel to share in a couple days.
Do you decorate for Valentine's Day?

I do the same, but with old or 'single' socks: they become cosies for everything... Your candles look fabulous with them on ! ~ Rose
