It’s always exciting to use advent calendars and mark down the days until Christmas. (That’s two days away now!).
We’ve got a DIY advent candle tutorial for today’s Christmas crafts challenge. Christmas decor already calls for candles, so why not add a little something extra?
Read below for the full tutorial!
Materials:
DIY advent candle
Materials:
- Candlestick(s)
- Paint pen
- Ruler (I used centimeters to fit the size of my candle. A 9 1/2″ candle perfectly fits 24 centimeters and therefore 24 days).
Instructions:
- Measure out your 24 days on the candlestick
- Mark with paint pen, labeling one side with the days and the other side with dashes or dots
- Now you have your advent candle! Watch it melt down the days until Christmas!
