Hi Everyone,
The days are growing shorter and there is a definite chill in the air - yup Winter is on its way and I'm not a happy Winter person.
The other day it was dark and dreary and I needed to cheer myself up a bit so I made these cute little candle votives.
Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures while I was creating them but they are so simple to make.
I used some baby food jars that I found in the back of my cupboard, double sided craft tape and fabric... I also added a button threaded onto memory wire to add an extra fun element.....
Doesn't this fabric make you happy?
So literally all I did.... cut out a piece of fabric, add tape to the back and stick onto the jar. Thread a button onto wire and wrap around..... How simple was that???
Pop in a tea light candle and they are gorgeous, lit up at night......
They make me smile, sitting up on the kitchen window sill....
And they definitely did a great job of cheering me up on that dreary Autumn day.
Take Care
