Candle Box
Candles are wonderful mood-enhancers at any
time of year.But if your housekeeping skills are
anything like mine,they tend to roll around in a
drawer or get lost in the back of the sideboard.
This candle box is an attractive storage solution
worthy of display in its own right. And, filled with
an assortment of beautiful candles from Home
Hardware, it would also make a beautiful, unique
gift! Thanks to Tim Allard of Caledon East, Ontario,
for the project and instructions.
