Last year
I made one of these
Diamond Dust Candles...
I loved it so much
I made four more this year...
and thought maybe
you would like to make some too...
a perfect way
to add a little sparkle
to cozy winter nights...
they are beyond easy...
a perfect way to recycle
those candle jars
we all have tucked away...
I first saw this idea on Pinterest,
I have seen it done with glitter,
and it looked lovely also...
but I chose to use Diamond Dust,
which is amazingly sparkly...
the small jar of Diamond Dust
is around six dollars
and I had half left over
after making four jars...
all you need is white glue
and a paint brush...
cover all sides of the jar
with a nice thick coat of glue,
and sprinkle / pour
the Diamond Dust On...
catch the extra on a paper plate
and reuse on the next one...
I tried rolling the jar
in the Diamond Dust
and the glue will coat the Diamond Dust
and take the sparkle right out of it...
so sprinkle...
at first they are opaque...
when the glue dries
all that sparkle will look gorgeous!
now just drop in a tea light,
and your all set...
we could all use a little after Christmas Sparkle...

I Love it when You stop by...

Bella they are so beautiful,I want some too. I have to try and buy diamond dust in Australia though. I might try on line too. Thank you for sharing x
Hi Bella !
Happy new year!
Lovely diamond dust...
To day its raning a lot in Bergen .....I want spring :)))))
Have a beautiful day,
Hug Camilla .
Those are really sweet Bella. I've seen them done with epsom salts too but haven't tried them. We are to get rain today then back to the deep freeze tomorrow. It will be messy so I'm staying inside. Have a great week!
These candle cups are so dazzlingly pretty! I will be on the hunt for diamond dust today. One question...does it stay affixed to the jar pretty well or does it flake off whenever you move it?
Loved seeing your roses...it's nice to think about warmer weather right now.
Have a cozy week!

me encanta la idea ¿ quieres que nos sigamos ? yo ya tengo tu blog en mi lista http://amorporlovintag.blogspot.com.es/
As always you are my inspiration for pink sparkle!
I am redoing my daughters’ room. She has decided she wants shabby chic pink décor. WHOOO HOOO! Pardon me; I’m just a little excited.
This is the perfect project for us to do together and if I use battery operated tea lights they will make a lovely night light glow.
They are as pretty as can be! and i love that the project is so simple!

Oh, these are so pretty, Bella! I just washed out some candle jars from the holidays, too! I know my girls would love these - thank you for the tutorial. Love your new blog header, too. Hugs xo Karen

These are lovely! Thank you for the post and instructions. I am bookmarking this for future use...DH and I love candles and these are just perfect!
Golly, I almost missed this post! I love the sparkly jars! You can never have enough. Pretty cool. I have never heard of diamond dust! You are worth a million! xx
The heat from the candle does not soften the glue? There is a clear spray on glue that might work, too, though I have never tried it.
One lady I know used it to put beads on candle jars and she sprayed one side, rolled in beads, and continued in that manner till all was covered
These candle cups look really wonderful and so simple to do. I would like to make some but first I have to find the diamond dust in our country, i suppose we have it. Thank you for the idea.
