Tutorial Tuesday-Embellished Candles
Tue, Sep 23, 2008
I can’t believe it’s time for Tutorial Tuesday already! This week’s project will only take you about 1 minute. Yep, only one minute! For this project you’ll need the following:
Candles (Any color will work. Since the embellishments are NOT flame proof it doesn’t matter too much what they smell like because we’re not going to light them. Mine are peppermint, leftover from projects last Christmas.)
Halloween/Fall themed ribbon
Scotch Transfer Tape (The red Tacky tape will work too.)
Now, cut a ribbon piece slightly longer than the circumference of your candle, put tape on the back, and tape the ribbon onto the candle. Done.
Hint: Try layering different widths of coordinated ribbon for a different look. This one has a wider black ribbon, with a smaller purple ribbon on top.
This ribbon was from Michael’s. The ribbon in their $1 bin is the perfect length to make 1 or 2 of these candles. These would make great little I’m Thinking of You gifts for neighbors and co-workers as well! Happy Crafting!
