DIY Mother’s Day Gift: Votives on a Rope

Here is an adorable gift idea for your Mom!!

Use our Votives on a Rope blog to create a wonderful present that shows how much you care for your mother.  Instead of using Purple Dye like the blog suggests, make each votive a different color and different fragrance.  Include a poem that explains the meaning behind the colors and fragrances to add a special personalized touch.

Creative Idea #1:

Use the following scent/color combinations and write your mother a note/poem/saying  explaining the attribute that each candle represents:

• love   – Love Spell –   red
• kindness   – Sweet Pea Bouquet – yellow
• generosity   – Bamboo & Green Tea – green
• knowledge   – Sage – blue
• strength   – Warm Embrace – purple

Creative Idea #2:

Correspond each scent/color combination to a hobby your mother loves.  Don’t forget to include a note or poem that explains your choices!

For example:

• hiking -   Autumn Splendor -   orange
• baking -   Blueberry Muffin -   blue
• gardening -   Daffodil -   yellow
• camping -   Firelight Festival -   red
• traveling -   Tropical Paradise -   green

Creative Idea #3:

Link each scent/color combination to one of your childhood memories and give your mother a heartfelt note explaining what each memory means to you.

• storytelling -   Hansel and Gretel’s House -   brown
• family holidays -   Holiday Memories -   green
• afternoon tea -   Iced Lemon Biscotti -   yellow
• picking lilacs at the side of the road -   Lilac -   purple
• homecooked breakfasts -   Oatmeal & Honey -   ivory
