Decorative Gift Candles

Decorative Gift Candles are quick, easy and inexpensive to make. They are sure to be a favorite anywhere you need a small gift. They work great in gift baskets, as candles on tables at banquets, romantic dinners or as decoration to any room.

Things You’ll Need:
Baby Food Jar
Aileen’s Tacky Glue
Ribbon
Colored Tulle
Votive Candle

Step 1
To begin your Decorative Gift Candles, gather your supplies. You will need a Gerber baby food jar (or any brand will do), any color Tulle (you could use white and a colored candle or colored Tulle with a white or cream colored candle), Aileen’s Tacky Glue, ribbon , and a votive candle (scented candles are really nice).

Step 2
Make sure your baby food jars are clean on the inside and outside. Be sure the label and glue are removed as completely as possible.

Step 3
Cut a piece of Tulle slightly larger than the baby food jar. Use a Q-tip swab to paint Aileen’s Tacky Glue around the jar rim. You will need to add glue as you gather the Tulle around your baby food jar.

Step 4
Cut a piece of ribbon and tie it around the rim of the jar. Make sure the ribbon is long enough to tie around the jar and have enough to curl the ends. Tie the ribbon while the glue is still wet (adding more glue if necessary).

TIPS and WARNINGS:

* These are great at weddings for the reception tables.

* These are great for romantic evening. Use them around the room or on the table.

* Place them around the tub for a soothing bath.

* Be sure to keep the Tulle away from the wick. You can trim the Tulle if you are concern that it may catch fire.
