You will need:

Candles
Craft glue
Glitter
Paint brush
Bowl and dessert spoon

How to:

1. Make sure the candles are clean and dry, before brushing all over with craft glue. You may notice the glue 'beads' a little, this is because the wax is trying to repel the glue. Just work over those areas to ensure plenty of glue coverage

2. Pour glitter into a deep bowl and use a dessert spoon to cover the candles with glitter. You may find it easier to hold the candles by their wicks or else with 3 tooth picks threaded into each base. (Using three picks allows them to stand easily while drying)

3. Once covered, leave for a few hours to dry before dusting off the excess glitter. Place onto candle stands or plates to keep excess glitter and melted wax at bay
