From Quick Guide: Candle Accents
Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Candle(s)

  1. Step 1

    Find a candle that has a smooth finish. Also, go to a craft store to find colored masking tape.

    Before you apply the tape, indicate on the candle where the tape will go so that it isn't crooked.

Tips & Warnings
  • When you get sick of the way the candle is decorated you can just peel off the masking tape.
  • If you burn the candle, as the candle diminishes, peel the masking tape off so that it doesn't affect the candle.
