A CHRISTMAS PROJECT THAT'S SURE TO GO UP IN FLAMES!!!

A LITTLE CHRISTMAS DECOR PROJECT...EASY, FAST AND CHARMING... YOU'LL NEED
CANDLES...
SHEER RIBBON...( SO THE WORDS SHOW THROUGH)...
THE WORD "CHRISTMAS" COPIED ON CARD STOCK...OR STAMPED...OR CALLIGRAPHY...

I CHOSE THREE CREAMY WHITE CANDLES BECAUSE I ALREADY HAD THREE STANDS I WANTED TO USE...FOUND THE DREAMY SHEER RIBBON AT MICHAELS FOR $1.00...PLAYED WITH DIFFERENT FONTS AND SIZES FOR THE WORD CHRISTMAS AND PRINTED IT ON SOME CREAMY CARD STOCK. VARIATIONS COULD BE ENDLESS DON'T YOU THINK?... CUT THE WORDS THE SIZE YOU WANT TO WRAP AROUND YOUR CANDLE...

USED SOME GLUE-STICK TO HOLD THE WORD ONTO THE CANDLE WHILE TIEING THE RIBBON ON...OPTIONAL...JUST EASIER FOR ME.

TIE A PRETTY BOW....LOVED HOW THE EDGES OF THE RIBBON SHIMMER...



I JUST AM "OVER THE MOON" ABOUT WORDS...



WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT...YOU COULD HANG SOME HANDMADE TAGS OR LITTLE ORNAMENTS FROM THE BOW...MODIFY THIS FOR THANKSGIVING...EASTER...........................ON AND ON.......HOPE YOUR JUST A LITTLE INSPIRED, XOXO~KATHY

    Oh Kathy!
    This is such a beautiful idea. I can think of so many variations for this. I was thinking how beautiful to have the word on one candle, such as Santa, the second candle have a little picture and the third candle maybe the definition. (Short ofcourse). That would be a lovely display. I so love the ribbon and I think then I would tie a little Santa onto the ribbon of one of them, even a bell would be sweet. Gosh my mind is swimming, and it is time to go to bed. That is what I do, I get to swimming in these ideas, and then lay awake thinking.

    Sweetie thanks for the wonderful idea. Maybe my mind swimming gave you an idea or two.

    Have a blessed Tuesday tomorrow.

    Country hugs sweetie, Sherry
