Materials:

White pillar candles
Decorative napkins (Easter-themed or any design you prefer)
Mod Podge or Decoupage glue
Scissors
Paintbrush
Wax paper
Hairdryer or heat gun (optional)
Small bowl for glue
Paper towel (optional for cleanup)

Steps:

Prepare the Napkin Design: Cut out the design from your napkin. You may want to use the top layer of the napkin (the printed layer) only, discarding the back layers. Choose a design that fits the size of your pillar candle, such as Easter eggs, flowers, or other spring motifs.
Apply the Napkin to the Candle: Using a paintbrush, apply a thin layer of Mod Podge or decoupage glue to the area of the candle where you want to place the napkin. Gently place the napkin design onto the candle, pressing it down carefully to remove any wrinkles or air bubbles. Let it dry for a few minutes.
Seal and Set the Napkin Design: After the napkin is secure, cover the entire napkin and surrounding area with another thin layer of Mod Podge or decoupage glue. For a smoother finish, you can place a piece of wax paper over the napkin and gently heat it with a hairdryer or heat gun for a few seconds to set the napkin into the wax. Allow it to dry completely before displaying your beautiful DIY Easter napkin decoupage candle!

To begin this easy DIY Easter candle craft, you’ll need a few basic supplies such as white pillar candles, wax (soy wax is a great option), a candle wick, and some creative embellishments. If you want to make egg-shaped candles, use real eggshells or small plastic eggs. Simply create a small hole at the top of the egg and remove the inside, leaving a hollow shell. For a more traditional look, you can also use beeswax sheets or wax crayons for added color and texture. Start by melting your wax using a double boiler and pour the melted wax into your egg mold or over your pillar candle.

Once the wax has cooled, use acrylic paint or decorative paper napkins to add some beautiful designs, such as Easter eggs or symbols like the Omega symbol or the light of Christ. A great way to add texture to your finished candle is by wrapping the candle in a decorative tea towel or tissue paper, which can also add a lovely rustic feel. For extra flair, you can use wax embellishments, such as grains of incense or small wax pieces, to decorate your candle’s base or top. Don’t forget to add your wick before the wax hardens to create a burning candle that’s perfect for your Easter vigil or dinner.

This DIY Easter candle craft is an excellent way to add a personal touch to your Easter decor while also making a memorable craft that will illuminate your celebrations. Whether you choose to make Easter egg candles or simple, elegant pillar candles, you’ll enjoy the process of crafting and the final result of your homemade candles.
