How to Make Doll Candles



Candles add such an atmospheric element to any room. I got the idea for this feature from Julie Shelton’s ‘The Dream Dollhouse’, using crayons or birthday cake candles. I liked the bulkiness of crayons, they seem more like chic colored scented candles. This project is super easy, and a single box of crayons (I got mine for £1 at Tesco’s) provide tons of color palettes to suit every room in your dollhouse.
Materials:
1 packet of Crayons (any width, but I urge the thicker the better!)
1 cutting craft knife (USE WITH CAUTION)
Cutting board
All purpose glue


  1. Cut your crayon into different length sections, depending on your choice. Be use to make your cut as even as possible so the finished product sits up straight.
  2. Peel away the paper wrapping from the wax crayon
  3. Range your candles in whatever display design you wish, dabbing a little glue on one end of each to glue into place for stability
