diy animal birthday candles

When Jenny from Hank + Hunt posted this DIY on The Sweetest Occasion, I just about lost my mind (along with everyone else). Possibly one of the coolest ideas ever — and easy and cheap to boot! The ever-brilliant Jenny got some dollar store animal toys, plastic candle holders, a drill, and some gold spray paint and combined them to make the most awesome candle holders I’ve ever seen. So naturally, I decided to copy her and make them for Mr. Lovely’s birthday cake.

Wanna try it? Don’t be scared just because there’s a drill involved! It’s easy as can be, and took me all of about 20 minutes and four dollars.
