I started my Valentines Day crafting with my simple DIY canvas, and had to keep the crafting going by doing what I love to do, dressing up a store-bought candle! This is officially the third holiday I have now covered with my candle decorating. My painted Halloween candle, my glitter Christmas candle and now heart Valentines candle!

All I did was use my Letter Press dies to cute out my border out of aluminum foil. I then fastened the boarder with hot glue. And if you missed my simple DIY canvas that I used the hearts for, check them out here.

Sweet and simple, and just enough to add a little Valentines decor to an otherwise boring candle!

I am linking up to a few of my favorite parties this week, be sure to check them out here!
