Candle Creations


What are you creating this holiday season? I've been busy crafting cards and I'm still not ready with my Christmas cards...but I needed to make a few gifts as well, so I had to put cards on hold. I hope to share those cards with you soon.
For now, I have this gift I created for my son's teacher to share with you...It's 3 candleholders. I decorated the glass using a spool of ribbon with beads, that I found a few years ago at Michael's. I never knew what I was going to make with it, it was just really nice looking, so I bought it. Lol I really like how these came out! I hope they hold up well since I've never made them before, I don't know how well the adhesive I used on the ribbon to attach to the glass will hold up.
Here's a close up of the small jars:
I used decorative rocks in the bottom and a lovely smelling tea light that matched the color of the ribbon.

I hope you enjoyed this creation. I'd love to read your comments about your current holiday gift creations!

12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop Day 8

Welcome to Day Eight of the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop.


You should be arriving here from the blog of
Shawnee

 On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...
A pretty un-candle flickering.

Hi hoppers! This is a fun crafted gift for your friends and family. I know because I made a bunch of them for my friends and family and the crafters in the family are now planning on craft lifting my idea.

I used a variety of glass jars, my favorite was this one pictured and the canning jars. Basically I went to Jo-Ann's and purchased a huge garland with features I wanted...pine cones, berries, and pine needles. Found some frosted decorative glass and matching ribbon. Some battery powered tea lights and got to work. Used wire cutters to trim the garland to sizes I could stuff into the jars. Carefully added the frosted glass into the jars and then added the garland. Strategically placed the battery powered tea light and tied a bow with my ribbon at the top. I really love the look of these! (I'm not going to show you the mason jar ones because after playing around for hours with these, I discovered something else that was also too much fun to create...I promise I'll show you tomorrow!)


 Your next stop along the hop is:

Inga
