Recycled Candle Holders

It's hard to stop the recycling kick once you get started. I keep looking at things in a whole new way. I made these candle holders out of small cardboard tubes.
1. Cut each tube to the desired height.
2. Spray with metallic paint and sealer.
3. Insert floral foam inside the tube, making sure the bottom is level.
4. Insert candle into foam.
5. Arrange silk leaves and butterfly as shown.
Obviously if you choose to actually light the candle, you would need to be careful as the candle burned lower, so as not to catch the leaves and cardboard on fire.
