This is a cute little rose petal candle holder you can make out of felt rose petals. Here is what you do:
Materials needed:
Felt rose petals (or silk ones would be just as good)
Glass votive holders
Hot glue gun / glue sticks
General purpose craft glue
Instructions:
1. Start by gluing individual rose petals to the botton of the glass votive in a circular pattern.
2. Keep adding petals until you reach the desired width. This creates a base to work from.
3. Then add petals in a circular pattern on top of the base, working your way up the glass holder. Hot glue the petals to each other - not to the glass. Be careful not to glue the petals too close to the top. You don't want them to catch on fire when the candle is lit!
4. Once you have glued all the petals, carefully peel the entire rose petal holder off the bottom of the glass holder. Using a general purpose craft glue, place a generous amount in the bottom on the rose petal holder and place it back on the bottom of the glass holder. The reason for this is that once you light the candle, the hot glue will not hold the petals to the glass due to the heat of the flame.
5. Place your choice of any votive candle inside and enjoy.
