Just 3 dollars.  That&#8217;s right!  All 3 parts are from the dollar store and are super easy to assemble with just a little hot glue.

And what makes it even better is that it has multi-purpose uses!<\/p>\n<p>I do have one question, however.  Why do these candles come with such long wicks?  You can not burn them like this.

Pinterest is an online pinboard community that allows you to bookmark and save photos from any webpage.  It is wonderful for cataloging things that you love!
