Personalized Paper Candle Holder
Punch Holes
Using a standard or decorative single hole punch, punch two holes on each end of vellum. Make sure holes are punched in the same place on both sides so they will line up when tied together.
Personalize Candle Holder Label
Attach Art to Glass
Use scissors to cut two 8- to 10-inch lengths of colorful ribbon for each candleholder (Image 1). Wrap vellum artwork around the cylinder's exterior, then gently thread ribbon through punched top and bottom holes to pull the vellum together (Image 2). Tip: Vellum can tear if ribbons are pulled through too forcefully, so work carefully.
Use Scissors to Cut Ribbon
Candle Holder Ribbon
Insert Candle
Tie ribbons in a bow; wired ribbon makes it easier to shape a pretty bow (Image 1). Place a small candle or tea light in hurricane (Image 2). Tip: Use artwork candleholders to dress the table for breakfast or dinner. Change the artwork throughout the year to reflect the seasons.
