The cool thing about making faux candles is they're made from paper so you don't have to worry about wax melting all over your creations when you mail them and you can customize them to match your cards.
So let's get started! I made a fun girls birthday card using Bugaboo Stamps Wee Ones-Cake Time.
Faux Candles
Supplies you'll need:
Various pieces of designer
paper measuring 2 x 1.5 Inches
Embroidery floss or bakers
twine
Adhesive
Glossy accents or glue tabs
Skewer or thin knitting
needle
Start by rolling paper
around the skewer so that the finished candle will be 2 inches long.
Apply adhesive to the end and attach.
Remove from skewer and
insert embroidery floss through the middle, leaving approximately ¼
inch out the top.
Apply a little drop of
glossy accent to the inside top to hold thread in place. Trim excess
thread from bottom.
Let adhesive dry and your
finished.
Here's a card I made using
the Faux candles, tied together with twine and attached with glue:
Images: Wee Ones Cake Time
(Bugaboo Stamps), Jot It Down (The Cutting Cafe)
Papers: White. Bold Yellow
Stripe (Recollections), Surf & Swim Lei and Dots (Trinity
Papers), Hello Summer Little Flowers (Echo Park)
Accessories: Embroidery
Floss, Glossy Accents, Spellbinders Fancy Tags
