Instructions
Candle
- Cut 2 of the ironwork1 and glue as shown in photo, they do not overlap just barely touch each other. Use the glue sparingly.
- Glue the holly and berries and attach with a pop dot.
- There is a gap at the back that you could place a tag with a sentiment.
- Cut the doily to place candle on. Do not glue as the candle will need battery changes.
Card
- Glue the rectangle to the front of the card.
- Attach the brads closing them very loosely for the twine. Wrap the twine starting upper left corner with about a 6 inch tail for the bow. After wrapping the twine around wrap the end twice around the top left brad. Tie the bow.
- Glue trim and use pop dots to attach the Merry & Bright to the card.
- Glue the greenery behind the Merry & Bright.
Design Tips
Kathy Helton - SVGCuts Designer
- When gluing the flourish on the candle go VERY light on the glue.
- A dark colored candle would be pretty, use light colored paper.
- The Twinery twine has a little shimmer, it really spices up the card!
I hope you will use this idea for some of your holiday giving. It is very easy and so beautiful!!
