With only five supplies needed, you can make your own DIY pressed flower candles. Here we provide the simple directions for this easy craft project.


First, you will need to gather your supplies:

  • Plain Pillar Candles
  • Pressed Flowers
  • A Small Paintbrush
  • A Tea Light Candle
  • Tweezers


You will use melted wax from a tea light candle to attach your flowers to the pillar candle. It is really easy to do!


You may make these beautiful candles for gifts or to use around your own home. They provide a handmade element combined with the beauty of nature. The flowers are naturally pretty, and they perfectly accentuate the warm glow of a candle.
