Impress your guests this festive season with a genius hack for the perfect Christmas gift. It's Kara Southall's secret to creating a special keepsake at a fraction of the cost.
Kara, a savvy mum-of-four from Suffolk, shared her hack on Instagram and it's been a hit. Her video has amassed one million views and over 33,000 likes.
So what is Kara's trick? She creates a reindeer-printed candle with just three items - a candle, greaseproof paper, and a napkin - and it costs just under £2.
In the video, Kara explains that it took her just 30 minutes to make the candle. She sized up the napkin to the candle, cut out the shape, and then repeated the same steps with a sheet of greaseproof paper.
Next, she removed additional layers of the printed napkin until she was left with just the main layer. She then wrapped the greaseproof paper over the top and used a hairdryer on medium heat to melt the wax.
Kara advises not to leave the hairdryer in one place for too long. She also notes that the finished product should be used as decor only and never lit.
The only cost was the candle and napkins, both of which were 99p each from Home Bargains. Social media users were impressed by the low-cost, low-effort hack and Kara's creation was praised in the comments.
So this festive season, why not make a special keepsake for your guests? Kara's hack will help you make the perfect gift and it won't cost you an arm and a leg.
