Pour the melted beeswax and allow it to stand. The candle is now ready. Pack it and embellish with glitters.
Photo Frame
How do you make a photo frame at home? Simple! Purchase a wooden cardboard or a paper cardboard. Cut out the frame with a scissor. Try improvising the shapes rather making the old type of square frames. Glue the corners or pin it with small nails. Wrap the frame with a shiny satin cloth and then insert the photo into it. You can also paint a picture of your sweetheart if you are good at painting.
Candy Plants
Might have seen them at gift stores; right? This season make them at home! It's a wonderful personalized gift to present adults during Christmas time. Use multicolored paper and foam to make the flowers and trees. You can use a wire to make the stem and wrap it with paper. Attach the stem by snuggling it in the trees or the flowers. Place them in a clay pot. Paint the pot with bright colors. Wrap the candies and spread them inside the pots instead of filling with rocks.
Wall Hanging
Scrounge up all the old CDs you have and make a wall hanging out of it. Spray the CD with glitters and paste cool stickers on it to enhance its contemporary appeal. Now glue a piece of cardboard to cover the hole at the center. To create a typical Christmas theme, you can paste images of little Jesus, mother Mary, Santa Claus and other elements synonymous to Christmas. Follow the same technique for other CDs as well. Attach a ribbon with the CDs to make a loop and then pack it carefully in a gift box.
