Light up your home with DIY candles

Want to glam up your home this festive season? There's nothing more enchanting than making your own candles and lighting them.

PERFECT THE ART
To start with, collect some simple, yet beautiful glasses and jars that come in varying shapes and sizes. You can create your own signature candles with orange blossoms, rose petals and black currant leaves and a corresponding scent for each.Choose a mould and fill it with coloured wax. Pour the fragrance oil. To insert the wick, tie it to a pencil that will sit on top of the mould. This is a good way to ensure the wick stays in place and your fingers are away from the hot wax. Let the wax harden.Once it's ready, slip it out of the mould. If you're having a hard time getting the candle out of the container, keep the container in the freezer for about five minutes. This will help the candle let go of the container.

DRESS THEM UP
Depending on the shape of the candle, place it in the holder. Wine goblets make for great candle holders. You can paint them in shades of or ange and yellow or decorate them with ribbons. To add the finishing touch, sprinkle the candles with silver and golden glitter. Embellishing candles with blades of grass is one of the latest trends.

Apply non-flammable adhesive glue to a blade of grass. Stick it on your candle, folding the bottom of the blade under the candle. Repeat the process with more blades of grass of varying sizes and lengths, creating a natural pattern with varied spacing.Tip: This Diwali, use candles and fresh flowers to create a centrepiece decor area in your living room. Adorn the stairway and entrance with tiny scented candles in metallic holders. If you have a garden, arrange small candles in glass containers among the plants and watch the light merge with the greenery.
