Posted — UpdatedJust to be clear, these funky candle crafts won't necessarily help you to save money. If you are looking to save money by making your own candles, you'll need to invest in some bulk candle-making supplies, including bulk wax, wicks, and firesafe jars or tins. These projects utilize prefabricated candles (tealights), which can be bought in bulk. Never buy tealights at a premium candle retailer. They are available much cheaper, in big bags, at supermarkets and craft stores. I have even seen bulk bags of tea lights at my local hardware store.
Where and how to display tealights is a fun topic to divert your mind to. Perhaps you are planning a dinner party; or perhaps you want to crank up the romantic vibes for an evening. Tealights are noncommittal candles. They are flat, easy to store, and don't burn for too long. Even if you are not a candle person, keeping some tealights around for an emergency dinner (or whatever) is a good idea. It will make you look more stylish than you really are. Trust me. I have used this trick myself many times.
These three DIY tealight holders are easy to make, and only require pantry supplies (you might have the supplies you need right in your own pantry).
