This DIY candle decor is one of my favorite spring crafts! It’s so fun and simple to make. You can decorate the candles however you like, in the colors you prefer, but I suggest choosing pastel colors, as they are lighter and softer than regular colors. For pattern ideas, think of flowers, butterflies, bunnies, carrots, and eggs!

Add a bow to the candles, place them in candle holders, and then decorate the sides with flowers for a beautiful spring centerpiece decoration. Just a reminder, these candles are for display only and are not meant to be lit! Do not light these candles for your safety.

Work on one area at a time.

Creative Ideas and Variations

If you are looking for design inspirations, here are some.

The first design, I drew eggs and small flowers, then for the second one, I drew bunnies in only three colors. The third design is a combination of different flowers with carrots. I used yellow, blue, and pink for the flowers, orange for the carrot, and green for the leaves and stems. For the last design, I decided to use one color and drew flowers, leaves, and butterflies.
