Materials needed:
Candles
Socks
Scissors
To start you simply grab your scissors and cut a section of sock tall enough to cover your candle. You’ll want to make sure you get a clean line.
I left quite a bit extra on this one to create more of a turtleneck look since these socks came this way.
You’ll simply fold the top down to your liking. The little bit of excess at the bottom of the sock can be tucked slightly under the candle bottom.
Slide that cute sock over your candle. I left my end of the sock untucked here, but keep scrolling to the end to see how much better tucking it slightly under the base looks (in my opinion).
So Adorable!
Ok last one.
You know the drill! I used a grey kid’s sock here on a shorter candle and decided that I wanted a bit more candle to be showing, so I cut my length accordingly.
I just love the three sweater candles together in a grouping. They look so warm and cozy together.
And here’s a look at them in a dark room. So pretty and cozy!
When your candle wax is gone, no problem! You can simply remove the sock and place over a fresh candle. These guys can be used over and over from year to year, so it’s really only a one-time purchase for the socks.
