I always have a bunch of Dollar store prayer candles lying around. Each year, I try to do a new style for Xmas. This year, I started by wrapping each candle in vintage sheet music. I picked up the glitter stars from Michael's. They are self-sticking so I added one to the front of each candle. I added some rhinestone bling above the stars. If you remember, I picked up a French dictionary over...
Spooky Dollar Store Prayer Candles
September 03, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
The kiddos are officially back to school and I'm chomping at the bit to catch up on some crafting!

This trio of Dollar Store prayer candles has been sitting on the shelf in my craft room since December. I finally got around to giving them a French makeover today: Two of these great images are from The Graphics Fairy. The third is one I purchased off of Etsy. Once I cut out each image, I distressed the edges of each one ever so slightly. Then I used Mod Podge to glue them on and...
