Glittered Eiffel Tower Jar Candle

I've been on a glittered jar candle kick lately!
Whenever I am stressed, out comes the glitter!  Sure, I have much to do with preparing to move clear across the country, but I just had to get my glitter fix in!!
 For this one, I chose a gorgeous Eiffel Tower print over at the Graphics Fairy.  I really love the sepia tones!  I just had to display the candle with two of my Eiffel Towers, that I brought back last year from Paris!
 And of course I had to add some of my favorite taupe crinkly seam binding.
 And I also added this pretty silver fleur de lis charm.  Oooh, la, la!
 I think that glitter, seam binding, Mod Podge, and the Graphics Fairy images (thank you, Karen!) have become necessities in my craft room!
Now, go out and glitter something!

  2. LOL- I think I will just watch from the sidelines!
    Oh, you and your glitter addiction, but if it relieves your stress- glitter away. Have you glittered your husband yet?
    I'll bet your dust even sparkles...
    Hope you are getting things in order and that your next trip out there will be a good one and that you find your new dream world.
    Hugs- Tete

  10. I LOVE THIS!!! I saw it in your Etsy, and really loved it. How gorgeous and just so perfect! I still need to ask my mom about those owl ones from back in the day. At least you have a terrific outlet for that stress, because that glittery goodness is beautiful(although I wish you weren't stressed:( ).

  13. Donna, the candle is beautiful. Once you get settled you will be covering Seattle with all kinds of beautiful glitter. I know you are probably feeling quite overwhelmed right about now, but soon you will be settled and comfortable and making lots of new friends...but don't forget about us!!! I'm sure you will be having all kinds of wonderful adventures to tell us about.

    I am finally able to post again. Blogger has been very problematic lately but it seems to slowly be correcting itself. Very slowly!
