LOVE Candles

I spent last week in San Francisco working on some craft projects for Method Home Products.    They'll be posted soon on methodhome.com, so keep checking.  I'll post something on this blog when they're up.

In the meantime, here's something that didn't quite make the cut: reglazed LOVE vases.

First, you start with some of Method's soy candle containers after you've enjoyed the yummy goodness inside.   

Then you wash them well under hot water; the hot tap water should be enough to melt the residual wax and give you a clean container to work with.

Once dry, stick on alphabet stickers (found at the craft store).  Above, I put L O V E on each vase, spelling...uh...LOVE.       Then you cover the whole container with a porcelain glaze (I get Pebeo brand from Michael's craft stores) in whatever color you like.  You may need a coat or two, depending how dense you want the glaze color.

Allow to dry for an hour.  Peel off sticker.

Bake in oven at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, turn off oven, and let them sit and cool in the oven.

Use them as vases on the mantel place.... fill them with flowers and give them as a gift to someone you love.
