DIY Prayer Box!

DIY Prayer Box And Candles

My daughter made this beautiful DIY Prayer Box and candle set for her Mother In Law who is going through a hard time right now.  I thought it was such a great idea and it turned out so well, I thought I would share it!

This would make a perfect gift for any occasion!  I could see giving this as a wedding gift, confirmation, graduation, birthday, Christmas, anything!

You could add anything to it, too, she added handwritten Bible verses and a journal and pen!DIY Prayer Box & Candles open
