DIY primitive candle

So I bought some decor for my dining room that holds a candle stick.  I knew a plain white one would look dumb in it so I knew what I had to do....buy cheap dollar tree candle and design a primitive one myself.  Off to google I went and found that using just modge podge or regular glue and cinnamon was all I needed.  Simple and cheap enough for me instead of paying 5 bucks for just one candle.    My dollar tree had a pack of 7 emergency candles for...you guessed it...a dollar.  They are not the long normal ones, they are half the size of the regular candle sticks but that is exactly what I needed to put in my decor.

This is before



And after! 


So to do this all you have to do is paint the candle with modge podge or glue.  While its wet roll in cinnamon.  After its dry, repaint with glue to seal it all.  And voila!  Plus it smells delish!  I wouldn't suggest burning these, as they are just for decoration.

I don't like the way the candles look in these pictures.  I think they look a lot better in person.  Try it for yourself tho.
