Jazz up your candles by adding gold designs on them. This is a great diy to spice up your home decor.
Start off by taking plain coloured candles. Mine are from IKEA.

Grab a masking tape and mask off a design. Here I did a stripe design but you can also freehand designs if you'd like.
Then take gold paint and paint the un-masked areas. The paint I have is Martha Stewart Metallic Gold Acrilic Craft Paint. It is thin and took a couple of coats to get my desired gold colour so I recommend using gold paint from another brand which is more opaque.
Peel off the masking tape while the paint is still wet. I found this works better than waiting until it is completely dry because it reduces the risk of peeling off the dry paint with the tape. Voila, you're done! Experiment with different designs and have fun!
