Now if those are not the simplest and most adorable DIY candles then I don’t know what is cuter and easier. Loving the ideas there is now wax or crayons in these handmade candles making it and easy DIY. They still create a Lumiere effect and are decorative too. They can be personalized to your tasty and decor. Kids would love little toys in their candles or maybe even unicorns or mermaids. While teens and tweens may want sparkle, glitter, galaxy or Kawaii that they can use as room decor. Adults can match their home style. If you don’t have candle jars these would be super cute in a mason jar or even baby food jar. I could see giving these as a gift for family, friends, neighbors or co-workers for birthdays or Christmas or just because. These could also be used at wedding for a cute ceterpiece or table decor. You could even use blue and pink gems or beads and use for a baby shower.No matter what or how you decide to use these DIY water candles they are super easy and cute.
