It had been a while since I made any changes or additions to it. There were a few old things that needed to be replaced and a few that no longer carried any value. So, I got deeply involved in the task, personally deciding the new showpieces, flowers and frames to buy. I went as far as to change the curtains and drapes as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, after three months of a massive treasure hunt and brainstorming, I finally completed the herculean task. And I must say, I was satisfied with the final outcome. The room looked quite much as I visualized it. However, there was one particular spot that didn\u2019t seem right. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a book-lover, I got a customized bookshelf made with all my favourite books. But, the shelf had three spots that could incorporate something else. But, nothing I looked at appealed to me. It felt out of place or not upto the mark. I tried a variety of options from antiques to showpieces, flower vases to key stands. But, nothing fit. By this time, I had almost given up and decided to leave the space empty. This is when my best friend came over. Knowing about my failed attempts, she joked about how I should have probably have made something instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her statement although made in jest struck a chord with me. Maybe that was it. I realized that the bookshelf was so important to me because it consisted of a collection of books I had gathered since childhood. It was important because it had stuff put together after investing a lot of time and efforts. Hence, nothing I bought from outside would match up to that. Whatever object I placed there would have to be something made by me, investing my time and efforts. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having made up by mind, I started researching what options I had in hand. Not being anything close to an artist, I quickly eliminated options with beautiful but, complicated art and craft. Statues and sculptured were obviously out too. That\u2019s when I came across an interesting DIY option idea \u2013 Colorful wax candles, by Divya who was kind enough to share it with us. They were not only easy to make but, looked spectacular as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And since such a beautiful idea needs to be shared, we present to you the process to make the most attractive crayon candles. You could use it or consider it for gifting purposes too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>WHAT YOU NEED<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crayons (Depending on the colors you want)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Box of Candles\/ Pieces of wax<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paper Cups (For melting purposes)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glasses (For adding the mixture)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Simple Thread (For wick making)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Candy sticks<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A pair of scissors<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A stove<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>THE PROCESS:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 1) Add the crayons in different paper cups<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cut the crayons into small pieces.

an internship, I made the decision for blogging to demonstrate my writing talents as well as my love of Indian Ethnic fashion. I posted my Indian style ideas and suggestions that help others try something new and to have fun in their clothes, regardless of Size. I generally disagree with the fashion standards of most people and do not believe in wearing clothes that fit your body shape.","url":"https:\/\/www.mirraw.com\/blogs\/author\/spencer\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mirraw.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2535","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mirraw.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mirraw.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mirraw.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mirraw.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2535"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.mirraw.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2535\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mirraw.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mirraw.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mirraw.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mirraw.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
