Another Mother's Day Gift Idea... Decorated Candle


Hello,
This is another easy gift idea for Mother's Day.  I purchased a pre- poured candle from the dollar tree and decorated it with lace, pearls, ribbon and tiny silk flowers. 

This takes about 10-15 minutes to complete.

Materials Needed:
Purchased Pre-poured Candle
Lace
Ribbon
Strand of Craft Pearls
Small Silk Flowers
Glue Gun/ Glue

You will start by gluing a piece of lace around the rim of the glass candle holder.

Then you will add a piece of ribbon and glue together on the ends.
Then you will add a string of pearls and glue together on the ends.
Make a small bow and glue this in the center of where the ribbons meet to hide the glue.
Add a few small silk flowers to the center of the bow.
You can also add a little lace "skirt" around the bottom of the candle holder also by wrapping the lace around and glueing together at the ends.
Then wrap a strand of pearls around on top of the lace.


*** Please be sure that none of the flowers, lace or ribbon are above the top of the candle so that they do not catch fire if the candle is lit! ***

These would make a pretty Mother's Day Gift, Birthday Gift or would be beautiful for Wedding Favors or Centerpiece's on the banquet table.



I hope you enjoyed this craft and thank you for stopping by.
Love,
Beverly
