I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday! Here is a basic project to get back into the swing of things and dress up those plain glass votives! Let your creative juices flow on this one ~ There are so many possibilities…
I started by creating a template. I made two…One with a birdie design here and a blank template here so you can create your own designs!
Print on cardstock and cut out. I used scalloped scissors on the top of the birdie cover to give it a little design.
Fold each cut out on the dotted lines to create the sides of the luminary.
To add some sparkle, I used white glue to outline my image then sprinkle with glitter.
One dried, I lightly rubbed a glue stick on each tab and secured together forming a box. Simply place over a glass votive and light.
A quick and easy way to dress up your candlelight…with practically a $0 price tag. You can easily change designs too or how about just using the template on decorative scrapbook paper. Endless possibilities! Enjoy!

I love the top edge on the first example. I did something similar to this to replace the sleeves that came with my Febreeze Luminary kit: http://madincrafts.blogspot.com/2009/11/febreeze-luminary-replacement-sleeves.html

That is such a great idea! I am always looking for new ways to dress up candles.
Such a great idea! And something you can do over and over again in so many ways. Thanks!

I will try to do such a wonderful craft in order to decorate my undecorated home.
This craft is so beautiful and useful too!
