Tissue Paper & Mod Podge Candle Holders

My tutorial for this week are these cute candle holders!


I had a bunch of tissue paper left over from this project. I saw the idea first on this blog, and though it looked easy and cute enough to give it a go!

Supplies:
-two glass containers (i got mine for a buck each at AC Moore)
-tissue paper
-paper punch
-mod podge
-paint brush

Steps:
Step 1: Punch out a bunch of different tissue paper shapes


I used four different colors:


Step 2: Start Mod Podging tissue paper onto the glass container





For my first coat I just did the bottom, left the very top open. I also added two layers of the yellow designs because the Mod Podge bled through them most.

Step 3: Let the first coat dry, and then add another layer over top.  Make sure to get the top rim this time! Here's what it looks like with a second coat all dry!


It looks so cool with a candle inside! I has a beautiful glow:

Yes, I had to go outside to light these because fire is obviously a no-no in a dorm room...


They would look super cute on an end table or mantle I think... unfortunately my dorm room has neither of them so they can chill out on my dresser until I move out!

I'll be linking this project up to all the parties in my header!

    I have battery operated tea-lights and lots of them because of the no fire rule. I even got some cool color changing ones at Target- $2 for a 4 pack! :)

    These look cute! I think the paper punch adds a little extra special detail!

    What a great craft this is, huh? My daughter made me one of these years ago when she was little, but she just ripped off pieces of tissue, and applied to a medium jar without the lid. Modge Podge is SUCH great stuff!!

    Really pretty. I am in the UK and don't know about Modge Podge. Is it PVA glue? Your colour combination was so pretty, given me a great starting point. Thank You.

  41. AmandaDecember 18, 2012 at 8:39 PM

    Hey so I have all my stuff to try these, was going to make as a Christmas present - but the tissue paper rips like crazy when I try to punch the shapes. It's a brand new paper punch but I even tried sharpening it with foil like the paper punch package says. Any suggestions?

    ReplyDelete
  42. Rebecca @ My Girlish WhimsDecember 18, 2012 at 9:09 PM

    Amanda,I folded the tissue paper and cut through multiple layers at once so it would be more thick. That worked for me! Hope that helps!
