Marine Palm Sunday candle – DIY


Palm sunday is in less than a week time. If you still didn’t buy your kid’s candle and you would like to make a special unique one, here is a step by step tutorial for a marine theme.

On a white candle, wrap two different colors of ribbon, almost at the 1/3, so it’s above your kid hand grip.

Create with a third color ribbon, a kind of bow as shown below and stick it in the middle between the two ribbons.
