Retreating indoors now that the weather is colder? That doesn't mean your creativity has to go into hibernation. Get cozy with these creative candle ideas.
Melt your old down-to-the-wick candles in a small pan set over a large pan of simmering water and remove the wick with tongs. Repour into a set of teacups, bowls, or tiny teapots for a new candle.
Squirrels might be on to something in collecting these nuts. Use them to design a woodland-chic candleholder. As an extra tip, if you want to enhance the color of the acorn caps, immerse them in a container of mineral spirits and, once saturated, strain through a colander (not one you use for cooking) and allow them to dry.
