Make a tealight holder for next to nix…

November 27, 2008 12 Comments by Kirsty

I know that many people are feeling the pinch of the cereal captain.

We made these the other night at Brown Owls.

This little project is something quite special. You can make it from items you would already have around the house OR if you had to go out and buy would cost you no more than a couple of dollars.

Candle light has always been important in my family. There’s something really special & calming about the glow of a flickering candle. We burn candles for births, celebrations, sickness & sorrow. The flicker reminds us constantly of whoever it is we’ve lit it for. It encourages a connection that is especially important at this time of year, dont you think?

I’ve made these before from pillowcase fabric & fabric I printed with letters to spell words.

As it’s really just a cuff around a glass you could also use this as a pencil cup or vase or just a little storage cannister.

Note: If you’d rather not use regular tealights you can buy beeswax candles online from this Australian company.
