DIY lace covered votive/candle holders

FutureMrsB (Aussie Bride!), on April 7, 2013 at 5:44 AM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 14

Hi ladies & gents ... going a little DIY crazy at the moment as I really have nothing to do!! haha

Anyway, I've done a mock-up of my DIY lace covered votive holders - what do you think? I think they turned out super cute! They're not glued down in this pic but I've glued one up tonight. I've covered the votive holder in craft glue then wrapped the lace around (had to work fast as the glue dried FAST!) I left it to dry then wrapped a string of pearls around and twisted it at the back to secure.

I've bought all of the supplies for 40 candles for $65 Smiley smile FH thinks it best to leave putting them all together until closer to the day so that the glue continues to hold.

They will be used as part of my centerpieces. They will be scattered along the aqua table runner in between the candelabras and glass rectangle centerpieces filled with white and yellow flowers.

I haven't used a lot of lace and pearls in the decor but I'm wearing them so I thought it would be a nice way to tie them in

    I really LOVE the lace on them, however I don't know how I feel about the pearls. Something after them feels like an afterthought to me.

    @Debbie K. - go right ahead Smiley smile

    What does everyone else think about the pearls - Agree with Mrs O. that they look like an afterthought? Or like them?

    I love the lace but i'm not sure about the pearls either. What about some ribbon around them or just plain?

    I do like the lace but I think the pearls are distracting, I would leave it at just the lace. If you really want to use pearls can you scatter them on the runner or put them in the bottom of the flowers vases [similar to rocks or colored gems]?

    What if you tried putting the pearls around the top rather than the middle? It might work better, but it might not.

    Love these! I would go without the pearl strand, but that's just me. I was looking at lace votives myself and I think these are lovely.

    I love these. I'm a huge fan of pearls and lace Smiley smile maybe try three "rows" of the pearls. It might make it a more substantial part of it. Or just tie a small ribbon around it in one of your colors.

    Love these! I actually like the pearls, can't give you a reason, but I think they look nice with the lace and where they are...
