I’ve always LOVED striped taper candles–just haven’t loved the price tag. I decided to recreate the look myself, and after a little research found that you need a specific medium to help the paint stick to the wax. I found inexpensive tapers at my local dollar store, the clearance section of Michaels ( whoop .49 cents) and Flying Tiger in NYC. These splendid stripes will look amazing on your table all summer long!
