Need a quick and inexpensive gift…

October27

Here is a project for you. To spiffy up this old votive candle holder all I did was apply some of the new Maya Road “Flower Me” rubons all around the outside of this candle holder. This took me less than 5 min. I placed the sheet of rubons onto my paper cutter horizontally then cut 2 strips 1.75″ wide, wrapped one strip of rubons around the candle holder and applied the rubons, wrapped the second strip of rubons around the candle holder and applied… Bam, I was finished.

To make sure the rubons are protected I would spray the entire outside of the candle holder with a thin layer of clear varnish or something like it. I can see several of these in a cluster along a mantel, end table etc. You can accent several votive candle holders with one sheet of rubons.
