High Society Stationery: DIY Monogrammed Candles

I know, I know…candles don’t quite fit into the stationery category, but I just could not resist the opportunity to blog about these..

High Society Stationery: DIY Monogrammed Candles | Damask Love Blog{What They Say} This sophisticated scent was inspired by a red silk dress and the intriguing character of pomegranate.

Pomegranate Noir combines the sweet fruity notes of raspberry, plum, pink pepper and pomegranate with patchouli, frankincense and spicy woods to create a scent that’s sensual, totally sophisticated and utterly compelling.

The Pomegranate Noir Luxury Candle envelops a room and lingers for hours to create an ambience of warmth, sophistication and style. It is the ultimate luxury.

{What I Say} Um. Where, oh where do I begin on this one. Let’s start with the obvious. Unless y’all know something that I don’t, candles are basically “smells”, right?  It’s a jar of smells. I mean, I guess they are sorta kinda home decor items as well, but their primary function is to smell good. There has to be a point of diminishing returns when it comes to the cost of smells…even if it is 88 ounces of smells.  There has to be a point beyond which smells can no longer be improved. Maybe, just maybe there is that one smell that wafts around your house causing a genie in a bottle to materialize. Then he can grant you three wishes, the first of which would be a refund of my $425. At this price, anything less than Aladdin 2.0 would be completely unacceptable.

Now let’s talk about this particular scent. They do a pretty bang up job of describing the combination of scents that go into this candle. Anytime you can get some frankincense into the mix, I’m impressed. I just wanna know where the myrrh is. No myrrh? Then we come to this whole idea of an “utterly compelling” candle. Compelling? Dare I say it? A little dramatic, don’t ya think? A compelling candle? Hopefully it’s compelling me to get outta bed and go to work. I’ve got a candle mortgage to pay off.

As always, I’ve gotta project for you that will give you plenty inspiration for creating a high society candle of your own. No frankincense, though.

For these candles, I’m bringing back my love of monograms. It’s crazy how easy it is to create personalized candles of your own! I’ll prove it:

High Society Stationery: DIY Monogrammed Candles | Damask Love Blog

{1} Dauber tools. I used daubers from the Martha Stewart Glass Stenciling Kit. They are great quality and easy to clean.

{2} Martha Stewart glass paint OR multi-surface paint

{3} Stencils. This set is the Martha Stewart Fair Aisle Dots Set

{4} Candle Jar. I used this beautiful candle jar from Specialty Bottle, which comes with a great metal lid.

There are several ways to personalize your candles. For two of my designs, I used dies to create my own stencils from painter’s tape.

{1} Place two pieces of painters tape onto a piece of cardstock, arrange your dies and run through your die-cutting machine. Placing two pieces of tape on the cardstock allows you to easily peel off the top piece of tape.

{2} Clean the glass jar surface with alcohol, then place your painter’s tape stencil onto the jar. Press all of the edges into the jar and use additional pieces of tape cover the rest of your stenciling surface. This will just ensure that you don’t accidentally get paint where you don’t want it. From there, simply use the dauber to apply the paint.

{3} Allow your finished design to dry. It will take a full 21 days to cure, but it should be dry to the touch and ready to fill with wax within 20 minutes.

{4} For another design, I combined stencils from the Martha Stewart kit with a handmade monogram stencil.

    I love Jo Malone fragrances – but holy cow at a $425 candle! That’s redic!! Your version is most lovely. Another option besides paint or ink is etching cream. I learned to use that stuff from Martha, too.

    One important thing is that when you find yourself searching for a student loan you may find that you’ll want a cosigner. There are many situations where this is true because you will find that you do not employ a past credit rating so the mortgage lender will require that you have someone cosign the borrowed funds for you. Interesting post.
