Altered Fall Candles

November 13, 2008 By Connie | 5 Comments

I made a few of these up for the craft fairs, hoping that they wouldn’t sell so I could use them in my family room!  I do have a couple left for my mantle.  I was excited on how they turned out!  And, they SMELL so good…every time I walk buy the spicy smell jumps out at me!

I started by adhering the Autumn Vine (in the Holiday mini) designer paper to chipboard (the backing from designer paper works great!).  Then I cut the leaves of each pattern out with my Big Shot Leaves #2 die.   These made nice, stiff leaves.  Then I sponged the edges of each one with the coordinating color.

I wrapped the candles with Sage Shadow and more Autumn Vine designer paper.  I hid the seam on the front underneath the leaves.  The leaves I placed with Pop Dots and adhesive so that the stems all came together.  Then I wrapped the Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon (retired) around them to secure.  You could use the 5/8 Chocolate grosgrain for the same effect, I was just out of it at the time I made these.

For safety reasons, I probably won’t burn these candles, but if I did, I would just burn them down to where I could put a tea light in them.

I like these so well, I decided to get some larger holiday ones and make up gifts for my husband’s employees for Christmas!  I purchased them all at Hobby Lobby.

Enjoy! 

 

 

Filed Under: Cards

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 19 years and had my 18th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!
