A while back (before Christmas) I shared this little tutorial with my wonderful friends over at Hopeful Threads and today, I've decided it was time to bring the tutorial here so I can share with all of you and log it with my other tutorials.
I am going to share with you a super easy, no sewing or glue gunning experience required Christmas craft, the Christmas Light Candle Holder. This little votive holder makes a perfect last minute neighbor, teacher, mail man, grocer, or dog walker gift!
Pretty cute, isn't it?
Materials:
Glass globe (I got mine from Michael's)
Small glass votive holder (Also from Michael's)
Large Christmas bulb replacements (I found mine at Wal-Mart)
Curling Ribbon
Fabric Ribbon
Votive Candle (Mine's vanilla scented!)
Scissors
Cut 5-6 lengths of curling ribbon about one foot each and curl, curl, curl! Place curled ribbons into the bottom of the large glass globe.
Next, add a few light bulbs to the globe. There's no real science here. Just add as many as you like.
Cut a few more lengths of curling ribbon, curl, then add to the globe. Place the glass votive holder inside the glass globe. I tested mine out in the store before I made my purchases so I knew the votive holder would fit snuggly on top without falling into the globe. Place your candle into the holder.
Now, add a cute fabric ribbon around the mouth of the globe and enjoy! So easy and cute, right?!
I hope you all have an awesome and fantastically happy Christmas!
