There's something magical about Christmas lights, I just love all the beautiful displays you see in department stores and in peoples houses. All of the twinkling lights on trees and around other decorations really gets you ready for the festive season. This week on the Daring Cardmakers blog the theme is also about Shining Lights and today I am sharing my take on the Challenge.
I decided to create some festive candles using some recycled materials. The main candles are made from kitchen foil/clingfilm tubes and the base is cut out from a cardboard box.
I cut the tubes to different lengths and covered them with patterned paper. I then
arranged them onto the base, which I also covered with patterned paper and decorated with some ribbon and a decorative trim.
To give the candles a realistic feel, I cut some circles to fit the tops of the tubes and threaded some string through each. I then melted some candle wax and poured some on each one and there you have it one festive candle arrangement.
If you decide to give this a try do share your makes with us. Also please be aware these are made purely for decorative purposes and should never be used to light. I used a string of white fairy lights the battery operated ones and wrapped them around the base of the candles.
I hope you like my take on the Daring Cardmakers challenge and are inspired to join in the fun.
Thank you so much for stopping by I wish you all a happy weekend.Check out all the inspiration from the DT over on the Daring Cardmakers blog https://daringcardmakers.blogspot.com
