Candlescape Tips:

Place candles at least one inch apart to prevent sidewall burn out--when the flame of a small candle melts the wall of a taller one).
Trim wicks to 1/4" before burning.
Include gourds in fall or decorative ornaments during the holidays.
Rub fingerprints off candle sides with an old nylon stocking.
Place a partially melted votive in the freezer for an hour, and then pop the whole thing out for a clean holder.

Designer Candles:

Basic off-white candles take on a new look when grouped and combined with bean balls.

Surround a few candles with favorite rocks, seashells or ornaments.

These candles were all transformed with inexpensive embellishments for a designer look.

Create a striped pillar: Tape-off a design, apply spray paint in desired color and push studs into the sides.
Decoupage little bits of paper, magazines and newspaper in random designs for a custom look.
Attach pieces of ribbons between studs.
Wrap paper and string around the center of a pillar.
Tie cinnamon sticks around a pillar and secure with pieces of rawhide.
