These charming candleholders illuminate any space with lovely pinpoints of light. And because they are "stitched" on a sewing machine, you can make multiples in a single sitting.
These are essentially pierced paper sleeves that fit around your votive or candle holders.
MATERIALS
- Card stock of your choice
coordinating thread (optional)
sewing machine
glass cylinder candle holders
votive candle
scotch tape
INSTRUCTIONS
- Begin by stitching patterns onto sheets of card stock (thread is optional): Lightly trace a design or use one of MarthaStewart.com's templates onto the paper with a pencil. Stitch over the pencil marks. As the needle punctures the card stock (with or without thread) it creates tiny holes through which the candlelight will flicker.
- Cut to size, and wrap around glass cylinders; secure with double-sided tape.

[Edit 12/16]—It looks like this project didn't make the transition to Martha Stewart's new website. I'm still looking for the images and templates.
