Cool DIY..I want to try DIY projects.
Very artistic! Over here, candles are being supplied by the church during baptism.
i didn’t realize this but I’ve been buying washi tapes since high school out of their cuteness. I didn’t know they were called washi tapes though and I thought they were just fancier tapes! But now thanks to your post I discovered something else I can do with it! hehehe. Thanks for sharing!!!
This is a good idea and very creative plus not costly!! I’ll definitely keep this in mind when I finally have to do a baptismal..in the future! And also recommend this to my friends 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
What a nice concept. We are Jehovah’s Witnesses and we don’t do baptisms at a young age especially when kids are still babies. Anyway, i love scented candles 🙂
I remember when my daughter was baptized, the church was the one who gives us the candles. By the way, my sister is planning that her baby be baptize maybe next year. Thanks for this info I will share this to her.
