Flameless wax candles offer many more decorating opportunities than wick and flame varieties, especially when wanting something unique. They do not pose a danger since they do not have real flames. They are usually very plain, but absolutely anything is possible. They can be covered with paper or fabric and placed in areas that wax pillars with flames could not safely be used. Have fun with these creative ways to decorate flameless candles, and enhance battery operated luminaries in interesting, unique and beautiful new ways.
Add Birch Bark and Wire Wraps

It is rolled up like ribbon, and it can be used to beautifully decorate flameless wax candles. Wrap the pillars gently but firmly, and cut the bark to the appropriate length. Attach it using strong clear adhesive. The flameless wax candles will be perfect for decorating rooms with rustic cabin style. They will not look like the battery operated type, especially at a distance.
Apply Paper with Mod Podge
Just about anything is possible when using Mod Podge decoupage medium and paper. Colorful tissue paper, wrapping paper and other thin varieties can be used to beautifully decorate flameless wax candles. Begin by measuring the paper and cutting it to size.

If the paper is thin, the flickering candlelight will show through.

Make sure the surface is clean and dry, and apply the cutouts as desired. Search online to discover many themes and options. They look particularly pretty when decorated with hearts of various sizes, and they can be used to decorate well beyond Valentine’s Day, especially in a bedroom with romantic style an charm.
Wrap Them with Ribbons and Lace

Wrap the lace around the center of the flameless candle, and top it with the ribbon. Secure the cut ends with double sided tape. It works beautifully to hold lightweight materials. If desired, attach a single faux gem or some other decorative piece to the center. It will look elegant, and it can be used as a dining table centerpiece if placed on a candle tray, in a formal entryway or a bedroom where it will coordinate with other materials of the same style.
