For the first of my February crafts I've made some lovely little tea light holders.
Using 2 empty Gu pud glass jars that I've had stashed in the cupboard for ages waiting to be upcycled into something i decided to cross stitch 2 strips of Aida with love hearts (i used a love heart pattern from an old craft magazine but I'm sure there's plenty of heart patterns for free online if anyone wants to make these)
I then just used some glue dots to attach the strips of fabric on the outside of the jars and voila 2 simple tea light holders perfect for valentines ♥
Simple but pretty :)
Ooo they look gorgeous! I don't know how to cross stitch but I would love to make these! Any suggestions?! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely comment jewel x
ReplyDeleteCross stitching is very easy id suggest either buying a simple starter kit or one of the cross stitch magazines as they have cover kits usually included which is a good way to give it a try x
you always come up with the greatest of ideas! loveee the cross stitch hearts there! and what a fab idea to upcycle the glass jars, now I think i wont throw those after i finished eating the puddings! xx susan
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane! I will have a look for a simple magazine! xx
