DIY | Washi Tape Candles

If anyone else is as much of a Pinterest lover as me, you have probably seen these washi tape candles before. It's one of the simplest DIY projects ever and can bring a much needed pop of colour to a boring space. There really isn't a need for me to show you guys how to make these as they are so straightforward but heyho, here we go...

You will need: 

• washi tape (can be bought from ebay for £1-£2)
• tealight candles (mine are sweet vanilla and coconut scented from Primark)
• pair of scissors

Step 1

Take your washi tape and carefully wrap it around the side of the candle, trying to be as neat as you can on the top. There will probably be some excess tape on the bottom.

Step 2

Washi tape tends to be fairly thick so you won't need more than one layer. Cut off the tape and smooth down the edges.

Step 3

You may find that your tape is wider than your candle. In this case you can either tuck the excess tape underneath the candle or cut it off to create a smooth line.

This DIY project is so simple and you can choose any colour tape to compliment the room. Has anyone else tried this?
