Trinity Treasures TX : Wedding Elegance Rhinestone Candle with Gwen Studios

I was simply thrilled to get to make a project with this gorgeous ribbon. The Satin Ribbon coordinates beautifully with the Rhinestone and Satin Ribbon Trim! I just couldn't resist making a very quick candle that can be used not only for a Wedding Centerpiece but also in a home setting in a bath or bedroom. I just love the ribbon combined with the glitzy rhinestones. Sparkle and romance, yes!

And it couldn't be simpler to make! You'll need just a few supplies!

Supplies:

Gwen Studios Coral Satin and Rhinestone Trim

Gwen Studios Coral Satin Ribbon Tower

White Ceramic Candle Holder (I got mine at Dollar Tree)

Glass Candle Jar (I got mine at Dollar Tree)

White Candle to Fit Jar

Glue Gun and Glue

Optional - Green Floral Wire (Not Pictured)

Step 1: Cut ribbon for the bow. Mine is 16" from the 1" Ribbon, but you may want to use the larger or smaller width of ribbon depending on the size of your glass candle jar.

Step 2: Fold the ends of the ribbon to the middle, overlapping them as shown. Secure with a drop of hot glue.

Step 3: Use a piece of wire to gather the center of the bow. You can skip this step if you want to use the rhinestone ribbon to secure your bow, but I like to wire my bow around the candleholder.

Step 4: Glue the Satin Rhinestone Ribbon to a 4 Rhinestone width of the trim. I cut mine with scissors. You only need a small length, enough to go around the center of the bow.

Step 5: Glue the ribbon around the center of the bow, then wire the bow to the candle holder.

Step 6: Glue Rhinestone trim around the top edge of the candle holder.

Step 7: I wanted to cover the wire around the neck of the candle holder, so I glued the narrow ribbon around it to hide the wire.

Step 8: Cut Rhinestone ribbon and Satin Rhinestone Ribbon to go around the glass candle jar and glue in place. Put the candle in the jar, and set the jar on the candle holder.

And it's done! This project took me about 15 minutes to make, start to finish, so you can see how easy and inexpensive a project this would be to be part of a table centerpiece in a Wedding setting.

Make one of these yourself with the Gwen Studios ribbon, and see just how fun it is!
