Valentine's Day Votive Tutorial

Valentine's Day Votive Tutorial!!

(Creates 2 different styles!)

Here is a quick and easy project that you can do at home 

in less then 30 minutes.  

You may even have everything you need laying around your house!

Supplies Needed:

Scissors

Two/Three Torn out book pages

Heart Shaped Doilies

Votive Candles

Twine or Yarn

Glass Jars (Jelly Jars etc.)

Supplies for project!

I did not remember to take a picture of the book pages (sorry).

First I tore out two pages from an old book.

I then cut the torn out book page in half creating two separate pieces.

Once I had my two separate pieces I folded them each in half and cut out a heart shape.

Keep the heart shape cut out-you will need it!

Next I took a heart shaped doilies and the heart shape cut out from the book pages.

 I used a glue stick to glue the book page heart into the center of the doilies heart. 

I then took an old glass jelly jar and twine and got to work!

Place the heart shape cut out in the center of the glass jar and using your twine

or yarn gently wrap it around until it is secure.  I used a dot of hot glue to hold

the end of the twine in place.

 

For the second style votive I took the book page sheet that I cut a heart out of

and placed it in the center of another glass jar.  Using the same twine I gently wrapped it

around the jar securing the heart shaped book page to the jar. 

Once I was finished wrapping the twine I again used a dot of hot glue to make 

sure the twine was secure.

Once you are all complete add a votive candle to the glass jars and you are all set!

Here is my finished set of Valentine's Day Votive's!

The are really cute in person and add a nice but simple touch for Valentine's Day!
