Dollar Store Fall Candle

I’ve been adding fall to various parts of my home – the futon, flower arrangements, and wall art.  I wanted something a little special to add to my planter of green vines.  A visit to Dollar Tree and I came home with an LED candle and a packet of fall sticker of pumpkins and maple leaves. The stickers have a wood look to them which is perfect!

I got out my jute cord and wrapped cord around the top of the candle, tied it, and cut the ends.

The stickers had little round sticky discs on the back but were not strong enough to use on a curved surface like the candle.  I keep little round Velcro stickers in my craft supplies.  I placed one side to sticker and pressed hard for a minute. I pressed the other side of the Velcro dot on the candle and pressed hard. Then I Velcro ed the 2 sides together.  I alternated maple leaves and pumpkins.  Very simple to make and I like the look.

I moved vines around for a blank spot in my planter and put the LED candle in the front.

Why not turn it on?  It looks even better!  A small addition to the planter with a few fall images and rustic cord.

  1. It’s always fun creating dollar store crafts! I think we all like saying, “look what I made from the dollar store!” And your candles look fabulous and perfect for Fall!

  2. That candle is perfect for fall now. I’m always amazed at what you can find at the dollar store. Those stickers are awesome, I really like the wood look.

  3. I love the look of your decorated candle. Great way to add a little touch of fall! I had no idea the dollar store had these candles – I almost purchased some at Michael’s for a much higher price!

  4. Oh I love this display Carol. Simple and really effective. We have a few stores like your dollar store over here and you can get lots of bits and pieces for crafts.

I love to make new friends and get to know you.
