i even impressed myself!

feb-23-019.jpgA little white star lantern, embellished with buttons and ribbon and a battery operated candle.  This is my sample - I’m going to sell this craft as a KIT in my etsy shop.  I’ll list it in the a.m.!  feb-23-014.jpgIt’ll include the lantern, 4 different ribbons, plenty of buttons, star rhinestones and sequins.  It’ll also have the little tealight and I cut little paper tags to match!

Thing #9: Candle votive

Well the post I made is somewhere in limbo, but I wasn’t very satisfied with the final project, so I’m going to try again later, because I really wanted to make something cool to burn little tea lights in. But this was my little candle holder:

Its a canning jar that previously held some spaghetti sauce. I wrapped the outside in translucent paper, although after burning it for a while I became a bit more paranoid about how warm the sides of the jar were becoming.  I might try painting the outside of the jar instead, acrylic perhaps? I’m not sure what would be best just yet. I also have some wire I might play around with too.
