How to Make Christmas Decor Out of Tealights & Book Pages
The project from today is very small and cute. I made DIY Christmas ornaments out of materials that otherwise would go in the trash. We're making DIY book page Christmas ornaments set in empty tealight containers.
So, when your candles run out, here's something you can make with them!
Tools and materials:
- Empty tealights
- Knife
- Book pages
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Hot glue
1. Remove the wax
Remove the leftover wax with a knife.
2. Cut the book pages
Cut two circles out of old book pages. Trace around the tealights to get the right shapes.
Cut the circle bigger than the container so you can bend it in the edges and have enough room to glue it to the container.
Also, cut a long piece of paper to glue around the tealight.
It does not have to be to perfect. We can trim it in the end.👌
3. Cut snips around the circle
Cut a few snips around the paper circle to make it easier to fold it and adapt it to the can.
4. Glue the paper to the tealight
Glue the paper pieces into the containers with hot glue.
Trim excess paper if necessary.
4. Wrap thread around the tealight
Wrap thread around the tealight a couple of times and leave a middle-size thread to hang later.
5. Decorate
Decorate the ornament with angel faces, old buttons, star anise, or anything else you have to hand.
You can use these ornaments on wreaths.
They could also make cute little gift ideas. Your creativity doesn‘t have a limit. I am looking forward to hearing more ideas from you in the comments below. 🥰
Looking forward to your feedback ✨😘🥰
Happy day to you.
