Candle Cozies !!! Hi friends, I want to share a couple of "candle cozies" I made for Michael's ... I cut two 3" x 12" pieces of paper, glued them together leaving a small seam, then I punched both sides with a EK Success border punch.. this paper was a very heavy cardstock and not at all easy to accordion fold.. but I did manage to get it done (whew) then I punched a hole in the middle with my cropadile and ran a ribbon through. On the next cozies I make I will make sure the seam in in the back.... I don't know what I was thinkin' putting it in the front... (guess I wasn't thinkin')
On this one I used a lighter weight paper and a different, bigger, EK Success border punch...
I put this one on a black candle at work and it really looks good.. very Halloweeny !! (hehe)
And lastly, a little treat box... I plan on making a lot of these for "Trick-or-Treat" this year... I took apart a Godiva chocolate box (the dark choc covered almonds were delicious) and made a template.. I put a piece of acetate for the little window... then punched a tag and added a ribbon... cute !!!
Wow... I have been having so much fun... I'm starting to enjoy going into work in the afternoon, I get so much done in the mornings !!! bad part is that I don't get home till 10 (yuck)...
Enjoy the rest of your day... Jen
