For today’s tip, I thought it would be fun to show you how quick and easy it is to decorate candles with brads or snaps. Here are the simple steps to follow.
-First you will need to print out a spreadsheet with ½” size square boxes covering the entire page.
-Cut the paper to size so it fits the same height as the candle and will wrap one time around.
-Use an Anywhere Punch to make 1/16” holes in the paper where the lines from the spreadsheet intersect, forming a pattern.
- Wrap the paper around the candle and fasten with tape.
-Ok, here is the fun part, stick brads through the punched holes in the paper, inserting them ¾ of the way in.
-When you are finished placing all the brads, carefully tear away paper and push the brads the rest of the way in.
This project idea is by Lynne Montgomery and is part of MM’s Decorate Life: Home Décor book.
