Let there be light!


I was searching through my craft room for something
entirely different but came across a drawer full of
tea light candles and decided to make some little
 boxes to hold one.
These will go to our local St. Vincent de Paul shop
and help me use up loads of paper!!!


It holds one of the small candles (Ikea).

I did a tutorial here if you fancy cutting into
some stash!

Measurements needed to make one
Base - 7 6/8" x 7 6/8"
Score on all four sides at
5/8", 1 1/4", 1 7/8", 2 4/8"
Belly Band - 2 3/4" + one wee notch x 8 1/4"

I used old paper scraps from SU, two daisy punches (SU),
card candi,  and red ink from my blending brush.

I would like to enter these into
