1. Use and enjoy your candle. 2. When burned completely, remove excess wax and clean. a. If wax is cold, place in pot with shallow water and boil until wax is melted. b. Pour out excess wax and wipe clean with paper towel. Wash with soap and water. 3. Fill glass jar with goodies, store small items, or make your own candles.

stencil a pillow cover and laundry curtains (that hide my laundry room water valves and electrical cords) with fabric paint. It was really easy and I’m lovin’ the results. I’m thinking of using it on my foyer wall now that I’ve tackled these smaller stenciling projects. For all the details, you can check my blog. Oh and I just spent $30 on the stencil, $6 on fabric paint, and $3 to make the laundry curtains from on-clearance linen (the pillow cover was free since I already had it around). So my total cost came to $39 for one stenciled pillow and two custom linen curtains.
spray paint little metal cups - spray inside one color than use paper rolled into inside to spray outside different color
dollar store candle holders - candlestick bottom with hurricane glued to top and white candle glued inside hurricane, add leaves and cheap large candle
You'll need: • Rose or decorative buttons with hooks on the back (about $1 at the craft store) • Button shank/hook remover (about $5 at the craft store) • Glue gun • Earring posts and back (about $1 for a pack of 16 at the craft store) • Spray paint or acrylic paint if you want to change the color of your buttons Here is what the buttons look like with the hooks... Get your button hook remover as close to the base of the hook as possible for a flatter surface. This is what the buttons will look like with the hooks removed... Use your glue gun to glue the post to the back of the earrings. The buttons with the earring posts glued on... The final result...beautiful, vintage, simple and classic all in one,
Cut small pieces of bookboard or other thick cardboard with an X-acto knife. (Bookboard is likely available at your local art store or PaperSource.) Make the pieces exactly the size of the Pantone chips. Then paint the edges white; I used acrylic paint for this. Attach the chip to the cardboard. I tried using wet glue, but it made the chip curl. So instead I covered the back of each chip with double-stick tape which worked great. Then cover the face of the chip with paper glaze. It dries with a clear, raised glass-like surface. There are a few products on the market; I used Aleene's Paper Glaze. Let it dry overnight. Finally, attach a magnet to the back. I used a roll of self-adhesive magnet material, but you could use something stronger, or cut up those promotional magnets you get sometimes from companies.
To stencil your own stuff: Buy a roll of freezer paper (approx. $3.99) or beg a piece from the guy in the meat department at your grocery store. Draw your design on it and cut it out with an X-acto knife. Then iron the paper, shiny side down, onto the fabric you're going to stencil. Iron another sheet to the back of the fabric to keep the paint from soaking through. You can use the iron setting that corresponds to the fabric you're stenciling. With a foam brush, stenciling brush, kitchen sponge, or other paint brush, apply fabric paint to the cut-away areas. I used Jacquard brand textile paint from the local art store. Let the paint dry (use a hairdryer if you're the impatient type, like me.) Peel the freezer paper off. Set the paint by following the directions on the jar — usually ironing will set it. Ta da.
I glued pieces of a map to wooden disks with plain old garden-variety Mod Podge. Then I applied special Mod Podge Dimensional Magic to the surface of the paper, let it dry, and stuck magnets on the back.

i like the idea of the states, maybe painted solid colors .. Puzzle Pieces as Refrigerator Magnets Send party guests home with one-of-a-kind favors. Parcel out groups of pieces from an incomplete puzzle and glue a magnet to the back of each. A single box will yield enough decorative sets for dozens of refrigerators.
Dictionary as Art Send a message that speaks volumes. Make a blow-up copy of an entry that relates to the occasion (for Valentine’s Day, try kiss or love) and use a highlighter to mark your most heartfelt sentiments.
