It is amazing how expensive it is to buy grungy candles and crafts. Visiting various shops across New England, it appears to be a very hot item, but to pay $6.00 a piece for one battery operated candle, I feel is a bit much. I know, we all need to make a living, so I will clarify this comment….if the crafter is making these items themselves, then it is worth the cost. But many stores purchase these candles (even the tea/votive style) from a distributor who has them made in China. There are some directions on how to “grunge” up your candles or crafts on the web. Well worth paying for directions if you are making a lot of them. I did for the company. It will keep the price of my crafts down because I won’t have to purchase these candles.
