For $1.99, I got a one pound box of Epsom Salts (the smallest box I could find which was way more than I needed). I already had some modge podge, and a candle just begging for a little dressing-up.
This was what I ended up with.
If you go to Emily's blog, you'll notice that her candle is more... shimmery. (Does that make it shimmery-ER?) For some reason my candle is not. Yes, I know the pictures were taken in the dark... that's because I wanted to show you the cool texture -- because mine was not... SHIMMERY. Disappointed? Yes, a little.
In the daylight, it looks like this:

| oops, forgot to crop out that bad petal... |
Pretty and textured? Yes. Shimmery? No. But, I'm still happy. I just ended up with a snowy candle, that's all -- and another easy project!
1. Decide which pin on Pinterest you’d like to recreate.

Very NICE, Sally!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't yet discovered Pinterest or gotten the crafting bug. But I'm enjoying all that you share here!!

I think your "snowy" look is pretty awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteEven though it wasn't exactly how you wanted it to turn out, it's still really pretty! Epsom salts are great for lots of other things too. I remember buying a bag several years ago for one reason or another and I still have it!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm curious why yours weren't as glittery. They still do look lovely though!
ReplyDeleteI think it's pretty. The snow look just makes it look more wintery. I think a few added to a Christmas display would be wonderful. Thanks for the creative idea of how to use Epsom salts!
