Make Christmas decorations from used tea lights
By Silvia Gloor of @losmimisarmoire
materials:
Empty matchbox
Old book pages
Angel paper, star anise, buttons or other decoration of your choice
Jute twine
Silicone or glue gun
Here's how you do it:
Remove the last remnants of candle wax from the tealight holder with a knife.
Use old book pages to draw two circles using the tealight holder as a template.
Cut the circles slightly larger than the container so that the edges can be bent and there is room to glue them in place.
Also cut a long strip of paper to glue around the edge.
Cut small notches in the paper circles to make it easier to fold and fit them into the container.
Glue the paper onto the containers with hot glue.
Cut off excess paper if necessary.
Wrap the hemp string around a few times and leave a piece hanging free so that the ornament can be hung.
Decorate the ornament with angel faces, old buttons, star anise or whatever else you like.
Application:
As decoration for gifts
For hanging on the Christmas tree
For decoration on wreaths
