Christmas Candles
Even
people who don’t normally feel the creative urge, want to decorate for
Christmas. Thanks
to the dollar store, you can pinch ha’ pennies like Scrooge
while decorating in a style befitting the Ghost of Christmas
Present. The
best part? These
arrangements are as easy as the Dickens to make.
If you like to have candles in the
bathroom, themed candle plates are lots of fun and a good way to
bring some seasonal cheer to the smallest room in the house. Here
a little snowman stops among a stand of evergreen votives.
Cost-under $3.00, including the
plate.
Three
thin taper candles are encircled with candle rings with engraved
stones nestled in them. The candles come in a package of six for a
dollar and three candleholders are included. The stones were in a
package of three for a dollar and appealed as more than
appropriate sentiments for the time of year.
These traditional candleholders are
seasonally bedecked with red candles, Christmas candle rings and a
decorative pushpin. (see push-pin decorating) The
total for this candle trio is under $7.00 as six tapers can be had
for a dollar and pushpins are generally packaged as eight for a
dollar.
You may not find the same items
pictured here, as the stock in a dollar store is constantly
changing. That’s the challenge and the fun of shopping there. Experiment
with different types of candles, holders and colors. You’re sure
to come up with something distinctive that’s all your own style.
