In this project, paper petals are used to create the "stained-glass" pieces of a votive holder . DIY Crafts host Debbie Stapley demonstrates. Materials: Round glass votive candleholders with plain sides
Tissue paper in several colors
Scissors
Craft knife
Decoupage medium
Shiny black dimensional paint
Small sponge brush
Tealight candles
- Before beginning, wash and dry votive holders.
- Cut 7 or 8 paper "petals" in various colors. (In this project, each petal measured 2-1/2" high x 1-3/4" wide).
- Cut 7 or 8 triangles to fit at top of petals (our are 1-1/2" high x 1" wide).
- Apply decoupage medium to the glass votive holder and to one side of a petal. Press petal to glass and smooth carefully with sponge brush, so that delicate tissue isn't marred.
- Continue adhering petals around entire votive (figure A), then apply triangles upside down to fill in spaces at top of petals.
- Apply two additional coats of decoupage medium over papered surface and allow to dry completely (figure B).
- Trim away excess tissue at top of votive.
- Use black dimensional paint to carefully outline each stained-glass panel and create the look of "leading." Allow to dry according to manufacturer's instructions (drying can take up to 72 hours).
