Bagworms are caterpillars that make homes using twigs and silk. If you see bags hanging from your plants, they might be bagworms, causing harm by eating leaves and adding weight to branches. You can remove them manually, use insecticides with Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), or invite birds and wasps to control them. If the problem persists, consult a pest control professional.
This TikTok Hack Turns Boring Candles Into Stylish Decor
03.01.2024 - 14:23 / thespruce.com / Christianna Silva
We’ve always loved candles, what with the warm light and cozy scents they bring into our home every time we light them.
But candles are really having a moment: hosts want tapered candles on the dinner table and big bright candles on the coffee table. It seems like unique candle arrangements fill up our Pinterest boards and Instagram Reels. And while plain candles can be pretty inexpensive, the more unique designs are not cheap—and you quite literally burn right through them.
TikTok creator Kenzie Marie of @kenziemariehome just posted what might be the least expensive and most fun little DIY hack bound to make all of you boring candles look gorgeous. And all you need is wax paper or contact paper, napkins with designs you love, plain candles, and a blow dryer.
“Perhaps a bit controversial, but I do believe in burning candles even if they are vintage,” Kenzie Marie says in the beginning of her TikTok video that has over 40,000 likes, 14,000 saves, and nearly 340,000 views. “But with that being said, it can be expensive, so look at what I did to decorate these candles. You guys saw these in one of my last videos and lost your minds, so here is a step-by-step.”
“You know I love a napkin hack,” she said.
First, find any decorative napkins you love. She uses a beautiful blue decorative napkin she found at TJ Maxx for a relatively inexpensive price. Start by removing the back layer of the napkin so it’s just the decorative side.
Then, cut the napkin down so it wraps around the candle just once and line it up around it. Here’s where the contact paper or wax paper comes into the picture. Tape the wax paper on top of the napkin so you have two layers around the candle. This will help melt the decoration onto the candle

Plan this year’s crop rotation
Even if you’re growing on a small scale, rotating your crops is important. Grow the same crop in the same soil over and over again and you’re inviting problems, like a build-up of pests and diseases, or nutritional deficiencies in the soil. Another advantage of moving crops around your plot is that you can follow one crop with another that likes growing in the conditions the previous crop left behind: a win-win situation.
