PINTEREST CANDLE DIYs + HACKS!

[@valerieprieur-cote5751]

I love that you show the wins and the fails, mistakes makes better ideas in the future because you learn. Anyway I’m gonna go salvage some candles now 😉

[@mpatriciaeb]

I think that the fail one you could do it in a bigger base and leave more space between the candles so they won't melt as fast as they did in the video

[@ahumanaperson]

Patricia E. Buri or they could have placed one large pilar candle in the centre and surround it with the taper candles of varying heights 👐

[@d.lane.e3176]

Definitely need more space in between so the others will not catch fire. What if you tried a rectangle deep dish plate or something and made a line of candles with varying heights?

[@DetskiePrazdniki]

It would be a different look through. But what if you wrapped the candles in some tin metal, like a painted soda cans, so they won't lose their shape and melt together?

[@zarlexa3744]

Maybe like a bowl with sand...

[@giada2802]

Patricia E. Buri good idea

[@gdlibby]

Would love to see a round two on the fail diy. Really liked how the flame looked like in the middle with the taller candles on the outside. Could you create something around a smaller pillar candle on the inside?

[@carololiveira4831]

I love that you show what works and what doesn’t! You guys are pretty honest and transparent and are basically having fun with what you do, it’s great.

[@wickedwitch3520]

Use flameless flicker candles for the multi-candle hack.

[@tarynmcfadden5733]

Your videos are amazing! Can I request rental safe upgrades for an apartment? Or have you ever considered making a large chair or couch? They are so expensive, but a bare bones one couldn't be too difficult.... Thank you so much either way!

[@mallorymahen290]

Taryn McFadden chair/couch diy would be awesome!!!!

[@monicar4280]

Re upholstering would be cool too. Especially with garage sale season coming up!!!

[@beckynelson2352]

Totally agree! Save a couch or reinvent an old Ikea ektorp..

[@amanda.outside]

YES!! The salvaged candle DIY - I needed this!!! The lavender is such a great idea and I love the wooden wick!! You guys rock! ✌️

[@Ingridlosneslokken]

I like that you actually show and tell us about the "failed" diys as well, that just shows us that everyone makes "mistakes" and that that's okay ❤️

[@ivethfleming8497]

I appreciate so much the fact that you guys are showing what is workable and the fails along the way, I love your DIYs so much, thank you for your videos. Love it!!!

[@ashjinkim]

Seeing the fails are SO important!!! Please keep them in. Having done several diy fails myself, please please please keep it up.

[@melissaboyd151]

I’d love to see you try again on the cluster candle! It was my favorite one!!

[@missschimming]

I love it when you show the fails. It shows that you all aren't perfect and helps other newbie DIYers not get as discouraged when their DIYs don't work out right away. Keep up the amazing work!!!

[@tamaralee2018]

Great ideas that have longevity. Not just embracing trends. Trends fade, style persists. Thanks for sharing!

[@Morgan-kn7iu]

It’s good to see the fails-not every DIY works, and like y’all demonstrated, some end up being hazards! Seeing why DIYs fail can help us be more aware and careful! Thanks for all the fun content! ✨

[@stephrmz90]

i totally like the fact that you two are adding fails! shows how real things could be and how really things could get!

[@jadecreber]

you guys should do a diy-revisit video? where you reattempt the fails or improve them, a bit like mythbusters do an episode where they re-do myths

[@FreakySei]

Yessssssss

[@misstiursani]

They actually do it their recent videoi

[@iamelisabee]

I love this candle ring look. I saw another DIY that used those little clip-on Christmas candle clips used in Germanic/Scandinavian countries. Definitely on my list of things to DIY.

[@traceetomkins37]

Love the ideas. For my candles when I want to use every bit of them I finish melting them on a candle warmer. It will liquify that last little bit and you can pour it into a new candle with a wick.

[@steffikrose]

Yeah, definitely try it with less wicks/more space between wicks (kind of like the 3 wick candles), otherwise there is too much heat and they burn down rapidly. I did the same thing about a year ago on a plate, lighting all the little stumps of the left-over Christmas candles. It looked cute for a moment and then panic started to spread. I love seeing the fails btw and this whole trial and error /learning from mistakes thing 😊 love from Austria

[@NaushSA]

It is so helpful that you show the fails - coz it encourages those of us who try and sometimes the results are a real bust so it pushes us to continue.

[@Mun_bun]

Cute! I love how you girls are always slightly matching in outfits but different!

[@LindaThao]

Definitely gotta try wood wick! It looks amazing 💕😍

[@heyhopebarker]

I’m obsessed with all of these! I would definitely try again with the centrepiece candles! Looks so cute! Even if you didn’t light the candles it would still look so pretty either on a coffee table or dining room table! Love you girls! ❤️

[@kateanderson622]

If you use wider candles for the 2nd DIY it will probably work a bit better. We do this at home at Christmas (though on a plate) with different sized candles by the fire. It looks lovely and very atmospheric 😊

[@aislinnthelion]

I love these candle DIYs- how have I not heard of a wooden wick before?! Totes going to try this out with a candle or two that don't light anymore.Love your videos!

[@annabelle7123]

loved the last idea, I think it did work? and I love wood wick candles... maybe I'll give it a try one day...?

[@19kaitlynmarie98]

Please reattempt the big tiered candle!!! I love all of these so much and my dream wedding involves lots of dreamy, romantic candle set ups! Loved this vid

[@theOGdebb]

Absolutely love the first one! Would also like to know how you guys fix the second one. I agree that I would be a cute center piece

[@03prpisces]

I love that u show the fails along w the ones that work! I appreciate the honesty in crafting!

[@BettyOs]

I filled in the poll on insta stories, but for everyone question I was like both! I love the seasonal variety you girls provide. 😁😁😁

[@darcyferrigno]

I don't need all the crafts you do on these videos, but I do feel the need to buy this stuff and try it. Love these!

[@monicar4280]

I LOVE that you now show some of the fails!! I think it shows how everything is not always perfect or works out the first time. I feel like the word fail has so much negative connotation, but to me t presents so much opportunity! ❤️ ur content (like always) keep up the amazing work!!!!

[@missmoreno]

I love the failed one. Please do more of those! It shows me that it’s okay if I have a fail every now and then. I can still keep DIYing! 😍

[@juliar5498]

They literally save my house with every diy

[@shortnsweet1413]

My trick for getting the wax out of the bottom is actually to throw them in the freezer instead! Then when you pull the candle out of the freezer, you can run a butter knife around the edges and pop the whole chunk of wax right out of the jar! Beyond being able to reuse all of the wax, I have been able to beautifully store bathroom items like cotton swabs, cotton balls, nail polish, bobby pins and hair ties! A thrifting triple threat if you will haha I get tons of compliments on them and more often than not, people don't even know they used to be old candle jars! They also make great drawer organizers for makeup brushes and whatnot (if your drawer is deep enough that is and you don't put the lid back on...I've been known to use the flat lids as coasters when I don't have enough or can't find one haha). Love your DIYs ladies, keep killing it! 😊

[@lynnjackman]

Love your video! Great ideas! On the failed try, I would paint around plate gold, then I see 3 pillars of differing heights. Can't wait for your next diy.

[@briprinster6502]

I love the way I feel after watching your videos! They are made so well and have such a nice energy. Keep doing what you are doing 😊

[@TheSorryGirls]

Made our day 💕 thanks for watching

[@cynthiawagner3308]

LOVE the doodles overlaid on the video!!

[@isabellabustamante5717]

Yes pls try to figure it out! I would love to see about about the failed candle

[@mariannerady1137]

Yes, please keep showing us wins and fails! Both are good to know and to learn from. Fab stuff as always, luv and thx

[@Torr.explores]

I’d love to see y’all try to fix it.

[@thefrenchmode]

I personally love when you show the difficulties and the fail, shows us the reality of the DIY life ! Xx

[@jennyreed3331]

I LOVE the first DIY! So simple & so pretty!

[@maeveway6176]

I love Becky's eye makeup so muchhh

[@nyssapearson5739]

Love the group candle! Please figure it out! 😍😍😍😍

[@sosomanies8247]

this idea is really good you should totally redo it i'm sure it'll come out amazing!

[@jascindashiner484]

I love both your outfits so much in this video!!

[@livingunjaded]

Omg I needed that last tip! I've been saving some candles to make usable again and I'm so happy you guys mentioned using a wood wick!

[@curitol5342]

Your job is AMAZING! Please keep doing DIY candles videos!

[@ERYN__]

I have a candle melting day periodically were I put all of the remnants of candles in the oven to get the wax out of the jar (because I am a low key candle hoarder(But I use candles daily for anxiety)And the jars are pretty) I usually combine several into one jar. Would love to see more candle upcycles. Xoxo

[@zoetang9705]

What brand of the gold spray paint do you use? It always looks gorgeous! The ones I typically get don't look as nice. Thanks!!!

[@malgorzatapiasecka1043]

I love how you guys are matching outfits!! And I’d love to see you guys reattempt that multiple candle idea haha

[@susanamacias5717]

I would be interested in a video where you show ways to use air plants, or diy air plant holders. You all are so creative.

[@valentinea3448]

LOVED it! And love the fact that you show the fails as well xx

[@jessicasands2770]

Love the idea of reusing candles, but how do you know what type of container to use? I’m always afraid of a glass breaking when I make a new candle.

[@hi__amaraa]

I like the additions of the fails tbqh. It's realistic, let's us know that if something does go wrong we aren't alone or just diy stupid compared to the videos we see that is sped up or doesn't show what to expect if something does go wrong plus how to salvage a mistake we might also make

[@thelitmirror]

I love the candle bowl idea.. just as a center piece though, not to light it. Might be trying it.

[@dramaqueen2634]

You guys consistently kill the DIY game! Love ya girls ❤️

[@miao7027]

Wth who are these people who are saying that your videos are fails? I definitely DO NOT agree. You peeps are awesome and I think of you as very creative and you have awesome ideas!

[@zarlexa3744]

You can also buy like so pretty glass pieces that catch the wax from the candle, using those you can like change the design.

[@carprincess]

While the candle DIY didn't come out perfect, it still looked mega cool

[@katiemak2599]

Love your vids! I like seeing the fails too because it shows how real you guys are instead of just showing what worked ❤

[@rins2332]

You could try having the taller candles in the middle and decrease in height as you go towards the edge of the ceramic mug. Or you could maybe have the different tiers cut equally for a stair-like effect?

[@ashleymeyer7075]

Do you have any advice for mixing scents of combined candles? Is there any way to give the new candle a uniform scent?

[@brittanystewart4242]

The fail diy would be cool with stone/crystal pillars interspersed and separating the candles. They could be in similar or complementary colors. I don’t know if this would damage the stones/crystals but would maybe be worth a shot?

[@isabelleevremont2377]

Yes do try the second candles holders cause they are my favorit

[@DaliaHum]

Becky!! Where did you get that cardigan? I really like the hanging candle 😊

[@mckennajackson115]

Can you guys list what clothes you wear in videos? Both of you have fantastic style!😍

[@Julia-tk9hw]

Becky omg where is your shirt from? It’s sooooo cute ❤️❤️❤️ love the diys too!

[@nightfr09]

Attempt the candle bundle again! I'd kill to see a working version of that idea, it's so fantasy/ victorian aesthetic.

[@roseblue800xx]

I knew an older lady once who made pillar candles out of old extra wax and formed them in recycled coffee cups and just pealed away the paper coffee cups once the candles were completely cooled. That could be a great diy concept. I'd love to see what the girls could do with it.

[@hannahs773]

I love your diy's! I recently found your KZbin channel and I'm in LOVE! You both are sooo adorable and sweet and you both are so creative and inspirational! Can't wait to see more diys!💜💜💜💜

[@jmhofert]

Never heard of wood wicks. Getting me some of those today!

[@andreas_adventures]

I've done the last one several times. I do it just like you guys do (except the wooden wick)

[@brechelles.5859]

Try the grouped candles diy with flameless tapered candles. I think it would still be cute and the best part.....no flames!! Just a thought;)

[@asma-qg1xo]

What do you think about adding LED candles in between and only using them?

[@MoMixMasta03]

you should do one big solid candle and dig out a bit of the top and put a battery candle in the hole you dug out.. or something similar with multiple candles

[@anitasolanki9]

You guys are so good..I like it that you even showed the fails....👍👍

[@francesocasio2871]

love the salvage candle idea

[@anab.7450]

I love that you show the fails. I learn a lot from those too!

[@kxrxlin2061]

I think the big one would work amazingly as a large outdoor candle...especially in summer when you sit outside and it's getting a little bit chilly.

[@sarahweiler9576]

Always astounded by your creativity. I would love to meet you guys someday, I've been a fan forever.

[@amberbouley]

For the cluster candle, perhaps using a higher quality candle may help along with some of the other comments' suggestions. Cheaper candles usually have a lower melting temperature and therefore the wax will melt more rapidly.

[@TeeheehahaAra]

The cluster reminds me of my moms 40th bday cake 😂

[@kiyaedwards]

Teeheehaha-ara lol

[@wwcc8022]

😂😂

[@hollyhamilton9648]

Ooooo, burn!!

[@RoamingTime]

I still really like thrift flips (by which I don't mean clothes ones) as I feel it encourages upcycling. DIYs I would love to see, as an avid reader, would be related DIYs. Whether that be bookmarks, book protectors, or things which are more like accessories for people who like books (such as framed artwork, those box books made from old books and so on). Currently I make a lot of bookmarks from ribbon and beads (taken from necklaces at thrift stores), framed artwork with old books, and I made a quote necklace out of metal on hinges, but curious what you two could come up with.

[@theduck3795]

the bowl one would look nice with all fake candles too! I normally hate fake candles because, well... they look fake. But by covering the bottoms (where the switches normally are, making them look weird) it could look more realistic? Or definitely try some of the large pillar candles. Maybe for wickless candles you could take those test tubes, fill them with wax, then add them? That way you get the elongated, thin shape of the ones you originally used, but with no wicks to worry about.

[@thegezzell]

What about treating the grouped candle as a pillar and only lighting the center? That way the mini campfire is contained in the center? Larger tapers would be good also

[@avmeade]

I actually love the “failed” one! Obviously not practical to light but super cute as a centerpiece without being lit!

[@corahengdall3407]

Love you guys and all your diys! I wish i could do all of them!

[@billygeene]

Becky! I've noticed that grey jumper you're wearing a few times now and every time I wonder where its from! Please tell me!

[@mia-vz4kq]

i think thicker candles might work if you combine that with alternating them, that way the wicks aren't so close together. I like seeing the failed diys!

[@BewitchingBeautyxX]

Definitely checking out wood wicks... Thank you

[@KM-zz7zw]

I dont care what others say but I love seeing the fail diys, it shows that not all ideas are successful which is okay :) you guys should do a compilation video of just fail diys that would be interesting to watch.

[@simplyglim]

I really love that first candleholder!! Think I might try to diy it ☺️

[@sophiav39]

I think you could redo the Stacked Candle by putting a candle in a glass jar in the center of the bowl and only lighting that one but still have the candle sticks around it so that they glow but aren't getting direct heat

[@mariagaribay5299]

What spray paint do you guys recommend? I am spray painting a black metal item, I want it gold for my wedding?

[@ManaSmith]

What if you took a big three wick pillar candle and kinda carved it down or surrounded three or four candles in wax that you somehow did different levels for? It would give the same effect but you could control the flame more?

[@sofializzy4519]

I loved the grouped taper candles - It looked amazing,... very sad to see it didnt work out...

[@magdalenag736]

Have you ever thought about DIYing stuff for children? Like sorter, manipulation table or a sensory booklet? Just something to thing about OR a great idea for a whole new series! Love from Poland! Thanks for your contagious DIY spirit:D

[@morethanamazed8210]

On Amazon I have seen flameless candlesticks. Maybe you could figure out a way to join them at different levels where you would still be able to change the batteries?
