Here is a picture of my DIY unity candle that I finished today. I'm happy with how it came out

That is so lovely!
How did you make the monogram type thing that is on the big candle?
It looks wonderful and looks like something I would like to try making

I love it. How did you make it? It looks so elegant, and I bet it wasn't terribly expensive.

Your candle is beautiful, you did an awesome job on it

That looks very pretty. I love the color! Great Job!!

 

[BrideToBe82]

Thanks...nope it wasn't expensive at all- $5!

I made the monogram using powerpoint. I printed it on vellum paper and just glued the ends to the candle (you can also use scrapbooking double side tape). After that I glued ribbon around the candle and added a crystal to the I of Richard

Let me know if you have any more questions-I am not great at explaining things!

Powerpoint is great for making monograms-I just used the "send to the back" function for the C

So it's on the vellum with the rest of it too? Cool! I love Power Point, but never knew I could do something so cool with it!! Thanks for the inspiration
