This is how I made my tea lights. It's very easy and cheap. ( Please excuse my work space...I know it's a mess!) The important thing is that you can see that I have my Diet Coke with me!
Step one: head to your nearest Dollar Tree or similar store and grab a bunch of tea lights. I found 3 packs at our DT for a buck. I grabbed a few packs but didn't go crazy. I picked up my spices there too.
Step two: grab some Mod Podge and spices (I used Nutmeg).
I mixed a thick consistency and coated the candles.
Step three: ust with spice. I used Allspice (cuz I love how it smells). After they dried, I shook off the extra.
Now, just let them dry. You can spray them with a clear sealant if you choose, but I like the way they turned out. I wasn't patient enough (dry time too long!) to make a few with the mod podge/spice mix by its self.
I'll bag these babies up when they're all done and add them to my 'sell' box for the show.
