DIY Gold Dipped Candles ... Guest Post by Katelyn from Learning, Creating, Living

Hello everyone, I'm so excited to be here at Put A Bird On It! Daniela is one of my very good blogger friends & I was so thrilled when she asked me to guest post on her blog. My name is Katelyn and I blog over at Learning Creating Living, where you can find easy & inexpensive diy projects, fun crafts & tasty recipes. Today I'd like to share with you a simple & easy diy project.





I purchased a package of emergency candles at the Dollar Tree. The package came with seven candles but sadly one broke in the making, who likes an odd number anyways? ;) I then used painters tape and taped the part of the candles I didn't want gold.






I then used Rustoleums Gold Metallic spray paint and spray painted the exposed part of the candles. If you haven't used this spray paint before, I highly recommend it!




After the spray paint was dry, I simply peeled off the tape & had these beautiful gold dipped candles. This didn't take me long to do at all, which is always a major plus! Who knows what might be gold dipped next.

Thank you for letting me share this diy project with you & thank you Daniela for letting me hang out on your blog today!

  2. This is a really great idea. I really need to try this idea to dress up some of the boring candles that I have.

  4. I haven't been a big 'candle' girl - mainly because I never find ones I love. These gold dipped ones are making me want to make pretty candles now! xo

  5. Love gold so this is such a great idea! I will have to try my hand at it. Now I'm wondering what else in my place I can spray paint and dip in gold? Hmmm....
