Had a project all lined up for the holiday but just did not fancy doing it when it came time. Knowing I had yet to enter the Gingersnap's
Candelabras, Chandeliers and Candles Challenge. When doing Saturday's Feline list Just for Girls make a sleeve for a pillar candle also caught my attention.
Don't happen to have a pillar candle to hand but in famous kitchen draw there was a packet of 5 regular candles and 4 sticks of cinnamon sticks. Bundled these together with a black raffia bow then melted wax crayon's, with a heat gun, to drip down the bundle and over the bow. Made a wrap with blue cellophane, and then cut some yellow cellophane with a jagged top and with slots in the piece to suggest flames. Cerise holey ribbon (great for oozing FP) with another ribbon threaded through tied around the base. A little gem topped pin tops of the ribbon knot.
Sharing this with Sparkles Forum Challenge Anything but a Christmas card. Enjoy Boxing Day everyone.
Great idea with the candles, Zoe! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteHow clever, bundle of candles, wax crayons, rafia and cellophane, now if you had given that to me as a list of things to use I don't know what I would have done, but this is fabulous Zoe.
