This Week’s Tip – Be Careful When Crafting!
My Candle Caught on Fire!
I attempted to make those trendy napkin-covered candles everyone’s been raving about. Using tapered candles, I bravely lit one up for a test run. Lo and behold, my suspicions were correct – the paper caught fire quickly! So, in a quick change of plans, I switched to flameless waxed candles.
I wasn’t about to risk setting my house ablaze with a real candle, not even a giant pillar.
I guess it shows that not everything you see on social media is as foolproof as it seems!
