The candle holders I used for this project are from Ikea. I have to say I love them and they are a great favor to use for weddings and to even use on the reception table at special occasions. You can also create matching sets for your home to your liking. The best thing about these is not only the price but the fact that they are reversible. You can either use a tall skinny candle or a tea light with this candle holder. LOVE IT and better yet, it cost only $0.49 each.
On this project I used Wild Orchid Flowers (so reasonable in price and I loved pretty much all the flowers on the site. I can't say I love them all because I have not bought them all.) I also used some of the ribbon and flowers I purchased from save-a-thon.
As you can see this side up is for the skinny candles. I designed this so that no matter which way you turn the holder, you still have a creative flare and you can appreciate your creativity (whatever style you can come up with).
I tried my best to match everything so that is one complete set.
This side up is for the tea light as seen below.
I added white glitter stickles to the outside edges of the flower.

Just to give you a different look, I want to show you pictures of the other set I did. Keep in mind, these are my first two candle holder alterations. I think they came out pretty good.
The Rhinestone Ribbon I purchased on Ebay. It was the 24 row, 1 yard of Green Ribbon. I believed I paid less than $4.00 for this. Personally if you buy the rhinestone ribbon on amazon (30 yards, 24 rows) it will end up coming out to cheaper. Keep in mind this is the same exact style of the David Tutera ribbon sold at Michael's for over $10.00 which is absolutely ridiculous. You are only paying for the name. Do not get me wrong I am a fan of his but, I refuse to pay an outrageous price for something I can get cheaper. I found the 30 yard, 24 row rhinestone ribbon for $11.00 on amazon and I bought it. I LOVE it. It is the same thing used at platinum style weddings or occasions. Do you know what the difference is? Instead of paying triple the amount of money to have someone else basically adhere it to a vase or whatever you have in mind, you pay the cost value and do it yourself and pay hardly nothing at all. Save your money... go the DIY way. Same affect, totally different cost.
Do you have an idea you want to see come to life? Share your ideas, maybe I can help you. I would love to try to do my best to bring your ideas to life and help you do it in the process.
