Check out my new weekend link party "wonderful weekend" going on now until Sunday night! Let's get the word out and get some more link ups! =]
Here's another easy Valentine's idea that anyone can do!
Supplies:
- candle
- Epsom salt
- glitter (optional)
- Mod Podge or glue
- ribbon, decals (optional)
- clear coat
I added about 3-4 tablespoons of Epsom salt into a bowl and added some pink glitter to jazz it up a bit. I started painting on the Mod Podge to the desired height of the candle. Then sprinkle your salt/glitter mix onto the candle. Keep doing this all around the candle. 
Next, I added some pink, fuzzy string that I had to jazz it up a little more.
Finally, I sprayed the salt/glitter with a clear coat, I'm hoping this will help it stay on longer. Then I added a single white heart to give it even more jazz! This is extremely easy and cheap! I already had the candle and string from about 8 Valentines ago. All I had to buy was the salt. Simple and cute. Enjoy!
I'll be posting this tutorial at these fine blogs:
