Here are some funky, adorable candles to decorate your home or office. It is a very easy project. The candles come out looking expensive, but the total cost is quite low. I purchased the crosses at Hobby Lobby. The feathers came from Michael's. The belt was mine that I never wore anymore. Candles and holders were from Target.
