Votive Candleholders

1. Measure around the votive candleholder, adding 1/2". Cut the ribbon to that measurement.

2. Hot-glue one end of the ribbon (raw edge) to the glass votive and wrap the ribbon around the votive. Fold back the extra 1/2" to create a finished edge; overlap the raw edge and hot-glue in place. You can layer ribbons for added interest. Finally, add a candle.

Party-Favor Gift Bags

Fill paper sacks with party favors. Close the bag by folding over the top edge 1/2". Punch a hole in the top center of the bag. Punch a hole in the brim on the cowboy hat. Tie the hat to the bag with ribbons and twine.
