Set the mood this Valentine’s Day with these romantic heart candles.

Tools and Materials

  • Chopsticks
  • Blow-dryer
  • Heart-shaped craft punches in various sizes
  • Sheet wax
  • Pillar candle

Candle How-To:

  1. Punch hearts from a sheet of wax using heart-shaped craft punches.
  2. While holding a single wax heart with chopsticks, heat the pillar candle and wax heart using a blow-dryer (this will soften the wax heart, causing it to adhere to the candle).
  3. Repeat this process until you have attached the desired number of hearts to the candle.
