A PEPPERMINT DREAM CHRISTMAS: CANDLE CENTER PIECE



Good news everyone, Christmas is here! At least according to our store. Christmas items are slowly rolling into our stores. I know there are some hard core Christmas lovers out there, and it's time to begin the holiday homemade crafts! So that'd there be plenty of time to finish before Christmas.

It's simple, like this candle center piece!

What we used...
  • Square (Base) Glass Vase
  • Doodle Bug's Vellum Dot 12"x 12" Card Stock in Red
  • Darice Rhinestone Ribbon 1/2" wide
  • Darice White Snow Flake Ornament
What You'll Need...
  • Modge Podge
  • Sponge Brush
  • Hot Glue Gun - High Temp
  • 1-2 Glue Sticks
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Scissors
To begin, take measurements of your vase, and trim your paper down to size. You may want to stick with wrapping the 3 sides, and then cut out a separate panel for the last side. It's vellum so if you overlap the paper it will change the transparency and the dots will begin to cluster when you put a light inside. Optional to leave one side blank, especially if it's going against a wall.

Next, with your Sponge Brush, brush on a thin layer of Modge Podge one side at a time. Double check to make sure the other end of your paper will reach the 3rd side of the vase nicely. While the Modge Podge is still wet, you can reposition it. Push out any bubbles and rub out any wrinkles that may occur. With that in mind go ahead add some Modge Podge to the edge and work on the next side. Like wrapping a sushi roll.

Add some bling! Measure and cut the Darice Rhinestone Ribbon to desired length. With your Hot Glue Gun - High Temperature, glue down in small sections. Then for the final touch, using your hot glue gun again, attach a white snow flake. Don't forget your favorite scented candle, and have a wonderful (early) Christmas.

Thank you for crafting with the Krazy Goo!
