1) TAKE A USED TEA LIGHT
2) SCRAPE OUT THE WICK AND ANY WAX RESIDUE
3) FOLD IN THE MIDDLE
4) FLATTEN DOWN WITH YOUR HANDS
5) TURN OVER
6) HAMMER FLAT
7) TURN OVER AGAIN - YOU'RE READY TO SPRAY PAINT ( OR NOT )
USES ?
HANGING MOBILES ( NURSERIES MAYBE - PAINTED I N PASTEL COLORS )
WREATHS ( ANY COLOR TO MATCH DECOR )
SCATTERED ON RUNNER FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER
FLORAL ARRANGEMENT ON BRANCHES ( HANGING BY THREAD )
GREAT FOR OUTDOOR - WEATHER PROOF GARDEN ART !
YOU COULD CUT OUT A CIRCLE - AND USE THESE AS PETALS ALL AROUND THE
PERIMETER AND CREATE FLOWERS
SPRAY PAINT WHITE AND USE FOR WEDDING CENTERPIECES AND RUNNERS
and probably thousands of uses I can't think of at the moment !!!
I spray painted mine gold - but the possibilities are endless ( and they won't be staying gold - that was just for the tutorial )
Now I have to do enough to make a wreath..................................
I saw artwork done from this method once - and can't find it anywhere ( I'm not even going to tell you how long I searched the internet ) - so I'm going from memory ( which is most definitely NOT what it used to be )
If anyone knows please drop me a line?
I'd like to give credit ( where credit is due ! )
