Day 8
Christmas
Candle
This
little candle is so versatile. You can
use it as a decoration on your table or mantle or place it in a cello bag and
give it as a hostess gift. The best
part? It is super fast and easy to do.
Start with a white candle (or other color if
you choose.)
Cut
a boarder of printed paper to fit the middle of the candle. I used Little Yellow Bicycle, Wonder and
Wishes. I love the Home for Christmas
boarder paper. It was perfect; I just
cut out the strips and used them as they were.
Wrap
the paper around the candle, overlapping just a bit in the back and cut off the
remainder. Use a strong adhesive (scor-
pal tape or a tape gun) to hold the paper to the candle.
Tie
a little raffia around the middle.
Ribbon would work well also.
I
used poinsettias by Prima but you could use any flower you have on hand or
punch some out of paper. Use Pearl
headed pins to pin the flower to the middle just to the side of the raffia
knot.
That’s
it you are finished. To give as a gift,
make a tag that says”May the light of Christmas be yours all season long.” Use
some of the scraps of paper to trim the tag. Tie it all together with more raffia.
