Altered Candles

Altered candles by Hazel ( Malaysia)

Altered Candles by Wati (Singapore)

Altered Candles by Nadia  (Malaysia)

I have to say that life as a scrapbooker has made us become more and more creative.  My 2 fellow scrapbooker friends - Wati , Nad and Hazel have chosen to alter their candles most beautifully.  Altering candles is a fast and effective way of decorating one's abode. 

The easiest way to be to add on some rubons as Wati and Hazel has demonstrated here. However,  both Nad and Hazel took it to another level and she added flowers and trims and etc. It is up to your imagination really - how one alters the candle.  Hence - I leave you with some beautifully altered candles by these 2 talented ladies.
