This is an easy way to decorate and still have the flexibility to change your mind later. Read on to learn how to decorate a candle with masking tape.

From Quick Guide: Candle Accents
Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

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

  • 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.
