Beautiful Layers of Light & Love

I never tire of giving or receiving candles as gifts. They’re perfect to give for any occasion, from birthdays to housewarming parties to simple gestures of kindness. Whenever I’m giving someone a candle, whether it be handmade or purchased from a boutique, I try to find something that smells delightful while also having a beautiful container. When the vessel is eye-catching, it makes it simple to wrap the gift in a charming manner.

This simple candle, with its sleek design, only needed a few things to package it in an elegant way. First, I wrapped a strip of vintage-wallpaper-inspired paper around it, followed by a strip of torn muslin. I then wrapped twine around it several times and added a stamped tag before tucking in a few fresh daisies. Simple, but lovely!
