Recently I had a nice idea, inspired by the nature bracelet<\/a> and the clip art candles<\/a> or faux quilt votives<\/a>, resp.: a quick autum votive. Another important note:<\/strong><\/em> The votive is very light and can therefore easily be blown into the flame. By the way, the leaves become brown as fast as ‘untreated’, but it is a beautiful decoration for an autumn table anyway. You can make it even more beautiful by taping a layer of packing tape transfers<\/a> with interesting texts or comic pictures over the leaves :) Anyway: Have much fun with this!<\/p>\n <\/a> Links of entry Recently I had a nice idea, inspired by the nature bracelet and the clip art candles or faux quilt votives, resp.: a quick autum votive.

\nIt became more beautiful than I expected ;-))

\nThat’s what you do:<\/strong><\/em>
\n<\/p>\n
\nYou need:<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n Tape the cardboard to a cylinder that has to be wider than the tealight but not especially beautiful.
\nImportant note:<\/strong><\/em> my Votive was too narrow with this circumference and became warm very fast. I suggest strongly<\/strong><\/em> to make the cylinder wider!<\/p>\n <\/div>\n Put the transparent tape around the cardboard cylinder with the sticky side outside(!).
\nMy tape is about 5 cm broad therefore I put two on top of each other. The arrow shows where they overlap.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n Now simply tape on colurful leaves. They may even overlap.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n When you’ve finished you can decide whether you want to wrap everything with another layer of tape – this time sticky side inside ;-), then you simply pull your votive from the cardboard cylinder and put a tealight inside.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
\nWhen I will make this again, I think that I will put small tape stripes crosswise from side to side and weigh down everything with sand or a little plate.
\nOr I will work it directly around a glass, I think that’s smarter, because nothing can be blown away then ;-)
\nSo don’t forget:<\/strong><\/em> Never leave burning candles unattended!<\/p>\n
\nAddendum:<\/strong><\/em> In the comments<\/a> of the German entry<\/a> Menoora writes, that leaves apparently keep their colours when gently ironed.
\nIt’s worth a try, isn’t? ;-)<\/p>\n
\nHow about e.g. with a beautiful layed autumn table and the votives in place of name cards? The names could be designed in the style of the beautiful labels<\/a>.<\/p>\n
