Butterfly flame holders are anything but difficult to make and an incredible blessing thought. The materials are exceptionally economical, and you can utilize your creative ability for an assortment of outlines. To begin, you will require:
Materials:
Little glass flame holders
Butterfly wrapping paper
Yellow tissue paper
Decoupage
Fingernail skin scissors
Little paintbrush
Clammy paper towel
You can purchase whatever glass flame holders you like (or utilize some you as of now have laying around). I purchased mine at Walmart for about $0.59. You could likewise discover them at thrift stores or yard deals.
I picked butterflies for my outline, yet you could pick whatever configuration you'd like- - perhaps remembering the tastes of the individual you're making them for. You can remove pictures from anyplace, including timetables, welcoming cards, magazines. Meager paper decoupages best.
After you have some photos at the top of the priority list, use fingernail skin scissors (the kind you cut your fingernails with) to remove the photos. These scissors work best on little pictures and cut rounder corners than customary scissors. In case you're not going to utilize the photos immediately, store them in ziploc sacks.
You can purchase decoupage at any specialty store. It is regularly found with the paste. It permits you to for all time join a photo to another item, giving the article a general shiny impact. Ensure the glass you're working with is perfect. Tear a bit of tissue paper into little (approx. 1 inch) pieces. Utilizing the paint brush, brush some decoupage on to the back of one of the bits of tissue paper. Position the tissue paper on the glass and after that brush some more decoupage on top of it. Keep sticking on bits of tissue paper, covering at the edges, until the whole flame holder is secured (counting the base - set the light holder on its top to dry). Brush one final layer of decoupage over the whole flame holder. Use soggy paper towel to wipe off any abundance decoupage.
After the decoupage has dried for 60 minutes (or more), position the butterflies (or different pictures) on top of the tissue paper. To start with brush some decoupage on the backs of the photos and spot them on the glass. Brush another layer of decoupage over the whole glass and set the flame holder on its top to dry once more. After the decoupage has dried, include 2 or 3 more layers of decoupage after every coat has dried.
That is it! These light holders are just restricted by your creative ability. Use distinctive shades of tissue paper and an assortment of pictures for various topics. You could make these with occasion subjects, as for Christmas or Easter. They additionally make incredible birthday presents, leader presents, or cute gifts. They are anything but difficult to make and you can make a few of them at one time.
