How to Make Your Own Unity Candle

If you have thought about including a unity candle in your wedding ceremony, you've probably noticed that candles are much like everything else in the world. When you put the word "wedding" on them, the price triples. You can easily pay over $50 for a generic unity candle set that says nothing about you.

With a little time and creativity, you can make your own unity candle that will cost less and look better than anything you see in a store. This is only one of many ways that you can create your own memory.

Instructions:

1. Buy or make your basic candle in the desired size(s).
2. Spray your candle with a clear acrylic paint.
3. Use wet paint to affix desired  decorations such as photos, wedding invitations, poems, program covers, dried flowers, etc.
4. If desired, you can paint directly on candle after clear paint has dried.
5. Coat entire candle with another layer of clear acrylic.
6. You can now use a glue gun to add larger details such as ribbons,  lace, etc.
