Valentine’s Day is February 14th, so I have a question for you. Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day? I’ll be honest and tell you that it wasn’t until recently that I began to. These days though, I adore the look of rustic Valentine’s Day décor to fill my home.

The problem I have is that I really can be somewhat cheap sometimes. All that really means here is that I don’t like to pay too much for décor; especially when I can make it myself. And this Valentine’s Day candle is so high on my list of Valentine’s Day crafts! In fact, I think they’re one of the best Valentine’s Day candles you can decorate with!

I may only be a tad bit partial, though.

I absolutely adore how they give a rustic but very soft look wherever the are displayed. They are perfect for creating a soft look or mood no matter where they are displayed. I have romantic bedroom décor with pink rose garlands and such and these compliment that type of décor so well!

What Candle Scents are for Valentine’s Day?

The right candle can help to put you and you partner in the right spirits and luckily, there are a wide range of candles that do well for Valentine’s Day; especially if you’re looking to create romantic bedroom vibes using sensual candles.

If you’re making these DIY Valentine’s Day candles, you’ll want to make sure you use the right fragrance to help create the ambience you’re looking for for your date night. These scents can include french vanilla, floral scents such as rose scented, Sandalwood or even sweet-smelling candles.

The scent you choose will depend on what you and your partner think are the best-scented candles really, but try not to mix scents and instead, stick with one fragrance across all of the candles you have in the room.

What Kind of Candles Do I Use?

Safety should always be your first priority when decorating or doing a craft like this. Because the supplies you will be using include ribbon, burlap and hot glue, you will not want to use any candle with a real flame. Doing so will almost certainly guarantee a fire much larger than your candle flame.

Instead, only use LED Battery Operated Candles for this craft. Since they do not have a real flame, they are not a risk for catching the fabrics on fire.

These would be especially pretty if you used color changing battery operated candles like THESE.

Because we just talked about scents, yes, you absolutely can buy scented LED battery operated candles. Some of them even have real wax like a flame candles does! The only difference is they don’t use a real flame and instead are lit by batteries! They’re a great – and safe – option for when you really do need and want the most romantic Valentine’s Day candles!
