Preserve some of that fall beauty and bring it into your decor with these fall leaves candles. This simple technique turns store bought candles into unique and beautiful additions to your fall style.

Things you’ll need:
Pillar or votive candles
Fall leaves
Candle wax
Double Boiler
Newsprint or scrap paper

Things to do:
1. Press the leaves between the pages of a book. They don’t need to dry there, although it will help their color to keep longer under the wax, mostly you just need them flattened.

2. Melt the wax in the double boiler.
3. Holding the candle by the wick, dip the candle briefly into the wax right up to the top edge of the candle.
4. Pull the candle out quickly and set it on the newsprint. Carefully press the leaves into the warm wax, smoothing out the edges so that they lie flat.

5. Dip the candle again, coating both the candle and the leaf. Allow the wax to harden.
6. Repeat again if the leaf appears to have uneven coverage. Let the wax harden before using.
