DIY Pressed Flower Candles
There are so many fun ways to add pressed flowers to candles! Last year I shared a tutorial for painting candle wax onto pressed flowers to adhere them to candles. And this year I thought it would be fun to share a second technique using wax paper and an iron to press dried flowers into a candle. I used a mixture of pressed flowers that I found online and ones that I pressed myself using the 4 flower pressing techniques I shared earlier this year. To make these candles last longer, I like to use my flameless candle hack when creating them so that I can safely use and enjoy them year after year. What's your favorite way to decorate with pressed flowers?
