Stampin’ Up! #1 Demonstrator Pootles – SpringWatch 2018 Rainbow Builder Votive Candle Box Tutorial
SpringWatch Giveaway for today – RAINBOW BUILDER DIES – details on how to enter at the bottom
Has anyone else clocked that Yankee Candle’s new Spring collection contains a fragrance called Rainbow Cookie? I nearly fell off my chair when I spotted it and I couldn’t be happier. Partial as I am to a nice candle and to rainbows, it’s wonderful to see the 2 paired together.
I don’t really do pastel rainbows all that often in my crafting, so it was nice to bring one into play with this box.
Of course, it’s nice to make a different version on camera, so I hope you like my little twist on it. Kicking the rule book out the window again….!
Votive candles tend to come in one similar size, so even if you don’t shop with Yankee Candles, this project should suit most variety of votive.
And if you don’t want to put a candle in it, you could keep the sides closed and simply have it as a great treat box!
Happy Sunday everyone!
