One old Christmas card (cut out), three little gem stickers from the sticker box, glue and about 15 rubber bands transformed our plain white candle into a lovely Christ Candle. I am sure that there are many more elaborate and gorgeous ways to decorate a candle. This was simple and worked. Gotta love that.The before picture is here.
O cool! This is a craft I think I can do this year. I have old Christmas cards. I can get a candle. It's simple enough that I can fit it in. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteLovely candle, Charlotte. You are so creative.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful candle!
ReplyDeleteMelanie,
ReplyDeleteLeave the rubber bands on for a good couple of hours to let it dry if your card is particularly stiff like mine was. I was tempted to peek and had to re-glue the bottom corners when I removed the bands too early.
This is SO beautiful! Thank you for yet another lovely idea.
ReplyDeleteOoohhh!! That did turn out BEAUTIFUL Charlotte!! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteOne more reason to save all the Christmas cards!
what kind of glue do you use? they are beautiful. i love the color combination, but more...i love the meaning.
ReplyDeleteI used rubber cement, but I think fast grab tacky glue would work just as well. That is the closest thing the cold "hot glue" I have ever seen. Like I said, give it lots of time to dry with lots of rubber bands holding it down. I really did use about 15 from the top to the bottom of the picture. The gem stickers stuck by themselves.
ReplyDeleteThat candle is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteA very beautiful Christ Candle!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, it's lovely. I will have to try that!
