I saw a candle similar to my DIY version on the Anthropologie website this year, and thought it would be fun to make a handmade version inspired by the design!

My DIY Christmas beeswax candle is less expensive to make, and it’s a really easy craft. I think this candle turned out EXTRA cute, and I love that the lid looks adorable on the candle, and off the candle as a little Holiday decor accent.
