This DIY project by BudgetSavvyDiva on YouTube is so pretty and easy to make, plus, it only requires a few simple materials that you can easily find from the nearest craft or Dollar store if you don’t already have it available at home. What I love even more about this is that you can put small items into the candle such as earrings and other similar trinkets that you want to give as a gift, this way once the candle is lit up and the wax has all melted, the items you’ve put inside will then show up. This idea is just so lovely and precious, the person you’ll give this to will surely be happy and thankful. It is definitely a fun project that you should try!
Materials:
- Candle wicks
- Seashells
- Candle wax, any scent that you want
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Earrings or other trinkets or gifts that you want
Directions:

Cut the wick to size, then grab a seashell that is large enough, and hot glue the candle wick to the bottom of the shell with hot glue. Place straws or other objects around and underneath the sides of the shell to hold it stable in place, then put the candle wax in a microwave-safe bowl or container, and heat it up for about 90 seconds or until hot and melted. Pour the melted wax into the seashell, then place earrings, trinkets, or other small gifts that you want inside the wax, and let the wax set and harden.
