As promised, here is another one of my wooden peg tealight holders.
I used some retired Washi Tape for this project, along with Burlap Trim, Gold Cording, and some Crochet Trim.
This was actually the first one of these I made, and the reason I made so many more of them! I left the inside blank this time and focussed on the outer.
Doesn't it look pretty?? I can't tell you how well these sold at my craft fair the other week. I made 5 altogether, all different, and they created so much interest that not only did they sell quickly, but customers were finding it difficult to choose between them!
I hope I have offered you some inspiration today...I'll be back with the last one soon (I only photographed 3 of them!)
I have been busy crafting for my upcoming stall at the Worsley URFC Christmas fair recently, and I wanted to show you one of my new makes tonight.
PLUS, how to line up the Reason For The Season stamps and punch bundle for quick and easy Poinsettias!
First of all, here is the finished project....Oh yes, this involves some clever upcycling too...
This gorgeous tealight/candle holder is made from an empty tuna tin and 22 wooden clothes pegs! I simply glued strips of Gold Glimmer Paper to each peg and clipped them to the can, then wrapped it all with some Natural Cotton Ribbon and Linen Thread. I then added the Gold Cording Trim and the stunning Poinsettia, complete with an Iced Rhinestone, coloured with a gold Sharpie.
Here's how it looks when lit...
Isn't it beautifully sparkly?!
So, I promised to show how to line up the stamps and die to make this all so much easier right? Ok, just check out my little video below...
I think you'll agree that it really is a doddle right? I sometimes think that Stampin' Up! design products deliberately for us Demos to work out easier ways of using them! ;)
So would you like to have a go at making one of these? Well here is a list to all the Stampin' Up! products I used. Please just click on them to order direct from my online shop, or click on the link to the right >>>>>
I had my craft class last Friday and as Christmas is coming (?!!) we had a little play with one of my new stamp set and punch bundles from the new Autumn/Winter catalogue, Reason For The Season...
This first card we made was using the punch Festive Flower (part of the bundle) and then we stamped the veins on the leaves and petals afterwards, using the stamps from Reason For The Season. It's much easier this way as trying to line all three stamps up before punching is almost impossible! The stamps are photopolymer too so that makes it super easy!
*EDIT* For an even easier way to stamp onto these petals, check out my tutorial here.
I used one of the dies and some Gold Glimmer Paper from the Holly Jolly Greetings bundle for 'merry', and teamed it with one of the stamps from the set. Oh and under the gorgeous Poinsettia I swirled a little of the gorgeous Gold Cording Trim...doesn't it finish the card nicely?
