Fun Simple Candle Holder Projects

At Makingfriends.com (Cool Crafts for Kewl Kids) they have the coolest candle holder projects. My favorite is their safety pin teas light holders which are made out of colored metallic safety pins strung with beads.

You will need:

36 colored safety pins, size 2 (You can use regular silver or gold safety pins instead if you want)
Metallic pony beads
Crystal faceted beads
Tea lights
Metallic cord

See Makingfriends.com for full instructions on the safety pin tea light holders.

Here’s another easy project that would be fun to make with the family. All you need is wax paper, craft (popsicle) sticks, oval woodsies (hearts , diamonds or stars would be pretty too), tacky glue and a small candle in a votive cup. A variation I’d like to try on this one is to paint the wood pieces different colors, but the full instructions for the basic craft stick lantern can be found here.

These fun cards from Laura are two in one, they are a Holiday Card but they also have a removable ornament that the recipient can hang on their Christmas tree too! And the ornaments are also shakers, how fun is that!? She used stamps and dies from Mama Elephant to create her two ornament cards. The first has a stamped Llama on a die cut snowy scene with die cut greenery bough and red sentiment. The ornament is attached to the card with a single glue dot that can be removed and she also added twine to the top to hang it from.

This next card has the shaker front filled with colorful sequins and a stamped sentiment but it holds another surprise, the top of this ornament swigs to the side to reveal a photo underneath!

She’s sharing a video tutorial on how to make both of these removable Ornament Christmas Cards over on the Mama Elephant blog.
