Yesterday, I played with fire. Oh, okay it was just a heat gun; you know how dangerous it is for me to work with sharp objects and flames. I saw
these candles via
One Pretty Thing. Hey, I have paper napkins and a candle! But I did want to see if I could do this thing without an open flame. I found
these tips and went to work. I just used napkins that I had (and most of my napkins are the kind that have little sayings on them, Like "Don't confuse my tolerance with hospitality" and "She was one plum pudding away from a Yuletide meltdown."). I bet these could be beautiful with floral napkins or ones with more intricate designs. And you need at least three for a little tablescape. Preferably of varying heights. But you could make a whole set in just over an hour, less time once you got the hang of it. And figured out how to separate the napkins...
How beautiful. You can also stamp your own designs on tissue paper and use that.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute idea. I never would have thought about using a napkin to do these, but why not? There are some cute ones out there.
ReplyDeleteI might have to find "Star of David" napkins (or tissue) and make my sister Hanukkah candles!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your craft-a-day posts. I can't wait to see your craft room and how that's coming along. I do totally love the fRoman shades!
ReplyDeleteI really like this idea. Am I brave enough to try it? Hmmm.
