Unique Ways to Use Battery-Operated Candles
Beautiful Decor and More
Battery-operated candles are some of the latest and greatest in home decor, and they keep getting better and better. From a distance some are very convincing. They look as real as the wax and flame varieties, but they are much safer to use. Because they are safe they can be used almost anywhere, even under water when fully submersible. Consider these unique and impressive ways to use battery-operated candles, and discover practical uses, new decorating options and more.
Use Battery-Operated Candles with Timers to Save Batteries
The very first battery-operated candles were not very decorative. They barely looked like candles, and they had on and off switches without any other options. These days realistic kinds are readily available, and they look and smell just like the real thing. They even flicker, and the flickering light shines through the wax covering. Use timed varieties whenever possible. When switched on they will automatically go off eight hours later. This will save batteries, and surprisingly they can last for months on end.
Combine Submersible Battery-Operated Candles with Water Beads
Water beads are a colorful substitute for soil, and they are as fun to play with as they are to display. When looking for unique ways to use battery-operated candles, combine the submersible variety with eye-catching water beads. They will become more stunning than ever. Use this unique method of display with a rooted spider plant, a lucky bamboo plant or another water-loving plant. Add a little water-soluble plant food each month and they will thrive indefinitely.
Illuminate a Beautiful Crystal Trinket Box
Real lead crystal is absolutely beautiful. It is even more beautiful when illuminated. This is one of the most unique ways to use battery-operated candles. Place one in a faceted crystal trinket box or covered candy dish. It will light up the crystal beautifully, and in a unique and impressive new way. For added sparkle, fill the base with Swarovski crystals. They can be found in most craft stores along with beads and other jewelry supplies and accessories.
These are just a few of the many unique ways to use battery-operated candles. When they include a timer they can be used as a nightlight, and they can be further embellished when placed in a pretty candle bowl or beneath a punched tin work of art. Think of the many unique ways that you can use battery-operated candles around the home, and illuminate everything from curio displays to mirrored perfume trays. They will look amazing!
