My altered candles ..... Ideal stocking fillers,

Hi everyone,
Are you organised for Christmas ?
I'm determined not to leave everything until the last minute,
This year I'm sending quite a few home-made gifts,
 
I thought I'd show you some today.
 
 
This is how the small candles looked when I bought them.
 
 
The finished candles,
After adding my cute Santa's & ribbon.
 
I love these & they are quick & easy to make.
 
WARNING.
Always use a candleholder specifically designed for candle use. The holder should be heat resistant, sturdy and large enough to contain any drips or melted wax.
The tall candles are for my own personal use & are just for show.
 
 
Items used.
Small candles (Wilkinsons)
Tall candles (The Range)
Santa stamp.
Ribbon. (Local linen shop)
Promarkes.
Glue & double sided tape.
White cardstock.
 
Thank you so much for visiting my blog,
Your comments cheer my day.
 
Lots of love,
Sylvia X
