Easy Romantic Pearl Covered Votive Holder

Hello,
This is an easy votive candle holder made by wrapping a glass votive cup with a strand of craft pearls.

Materials Needed:
Glass Votive Cup
Approx. 3 yards of Pearls
(depending on what size pearls used,,, for this project I used 3m - the tiny ones)

To begin remove any stickers from the votive and make sure it is clean and dry.

Starting at the center bottom of the votive cup apply a dot of low melt glue and make a tight circle with the strand of pearls.

Continue glueing and wrapping the pearls until the bottom of the votive cup is covered.

Turn the votive up and continue glueing and wrapping until you have the entire cup covered.

Add a candle or battery operated tealight candle and you have a beautiful romantic votive holder.

These would be beautiful for a wedding table centerpiece and would also make a great gift item.

These look so pretty when they are lit with the light shining through.

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

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

How To Make A Valentine's Day Gift Bag From A Recycled Pop Tart Box

Today I will be sharing with you how to make a Valentine's Day gift bag from a recycled pop tart box.

This is a great way to reuse empty boxes and scraps of wrapping paper and have a beautiful one of a kind gift bag. I used old Victorian Post Card Images that I found on the web and printed them out on plain white copy paper.

Materials Needed:

Empty Pop Tart Box
Wrapping Paper
Glue Stick
All Purpose Glue
Glitter
Scissors
Valentine Image's (Old cards, Post Cards or Printed Image's)
12 inch piece of ribbon
Embelishments of your choice (lace, buttons, charms, etc.)

Here are the instructions:
Cut the top flaps off the top of an empty pop tart box.

Then sit the box on the wrapping paper and trace around the bottom of the box. You will then cut the paper about a 1/2 inch wider around than what you traced. Glue the bottom of the box using your glue stick and adhere the paper to the bottom of the box. Then glue about 1/2' above the bottom of the box and fold the paper up around the sides making sure all paper is flat against the box.

Then you will lay the box down sideways and measure about 1 inch longer than the sides and cut the paper making sure you leave enough length to wrap around all 4 sides of the box. (Tip: I have found it is easiest if you use the precut edge of the wrapping paper to go around the bottom because it is strait.) Using your glue stick glue all the sides of the box and wrap the paper around making sure all paper is flat. Then you will fold the extra top 1" of paper down and glue to the inside of the box.

Take a Valentine Card image and glue to the box. You can use old cards, post cards or their are lots of free downloadable images on the web. On this one I put an image on the front and a different image on the back. Next you will use all purpose glue around the image and anywhere else you want to add glitter and then add the glitter and shake off excess and let dry. You could also add buttons, charms, pearls or anything else you may like.

Once the glue is dried you will punch a hole on each side of the box for the handle. Finish off with a piece of ribbon about 12 inches long. Thread the ribbon on each side from the outside to the inside and tie with a knot.
