Altered tea lights

Hello,

Made these to keep in handy.



I bought these tea light from Walgreen.  The bottom was not even  so I added  three legs.
 It fit perfectly in this crayola tin can.





 For this one I decided to make a different box to hold the tea light.  I was thinking of easy access to the candle so I only glue the three sizes of the box.  I didn't really like the way the box turned out.  The box measure 2 x 2 x 2 1/2 height.  It used too much papers due to the layering on both inside and out. 
This green one, I haven't decide what kind of box to hold it yet.  I am thinking of a see through box to show off the cute tea light.


These battery tea light are everywhere now. I even saw them at the dollar store.  It came in a pack of  two tea lights for a $1.  Not bad at all compare to what I paid for these.

Thank you so much for visiting.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Helen

Those are great. I was just at the dollar store yesterday and saw some of those tea lights. Now I wish I would have picked some up.

Cute and clever, Helen. What will you come up with next? I do want to try those flowers you posted in your last blog. I'm scared my fabric will burn more than just the edges! lol Have a great weekend.

I love these! I've had a few of these sitting around and had to try this version. I didn't have any small roses so I made my own version with the Boho Blossom and Trio Flower punches using the same technique as for the large flower punch. They are perfect! If I do say so myself. I posted them on my blog with a link to this post as well.( http://papercraftsloveaffair.blogspot.com/2011/01/altered-tealight-birthday-cakes.html) to share. Thanks for the inspiration!

Hello Helen! I love all your creations - you amaze me with your talent! Can you tell me if you made those tiny roses yourself - how did you make them? I wished I had your patience as it seems like all your creations take some time to make. Have a wonderful evening!
