What a great idea! Very nice job. I hate the way store bought candles look, these would really dress them up!

I need those! Seriously, please, I need those. Wouldn't those be pretty to decorate a table for a wedding. We are having my daughters here at home in July.

excellent gift idea - something to make a few extra and have on hand for quick-needed presents! I'd love to try the pattern too . :D

I think those are great. I'm on a total candle kick right now. We're coming into winter here and it's my ghetto version of having a fireplace in the house like back home. :D

 

Nice job!
