Painting Candles

While I was putting together the ‘A Tablescape for Ryleigh‘, it dawned on me that I’ve never done a DIY post on how to paint candles.  I’ve put it into other posts, (like the Orange & White Tablescape) but never one dedicated on how I do it.

A Tablescape for Ryleigh

My dear friend, Mandi, has a beautiful daughter named Ryleigh.  Ryleigh has epilepsy.  Thank God, she’s been seizure free for three years.  Yesterday was Epilepsy Awareness day, and the color associated with that day is purple.  So in honor of Ryleigh, and all of the other people who have this affliction, I decided to do this week’s tablescape in purple.

I hope Ryleigh likes it.
