I put two and two together a couple of weeks ago and came up with a pretty clever little solution to this issue, if I do say so myself!Here’s what you do!.
Start with a candle that you love but that can’t be lit anymore.This particular one is called.Baja Cactus Blossom.
from Bath and Body Works..Bonus points if it’s in a pretty jar that can be reused!
I especially love the ones with the pretty lids with no branding on them for using in organizing projects once they’re clean!.
If your candle is a higher quality one, it will usually have a softer wax, so grab yourself a butter knife and just slice right through it like it’s, well, butter!.I hot glued some ribbon that I had in my stash around the sides to cover the raw edges of the MDF.
At some point I also added the clothes pins on in rows of three with hot glue as well.. Bam!Just like that, a fun new advent calendar was born!.
The bags are just plain white bags, stamped with some silver ink and a Christmas stamp, then I wrote the numbers in by hand.It’s all so easy, but when you put it all together….
