I wanted to add a little "something extra" to our centerpieces, so I decided to add a few votives to each table. I came up with the idea for vellum wraps from a friend, and decided to try them on my own.
I made a template with a damask-like pattern that would run the length and width of the votive holder. I found vellum sheets at Hobby Lobby, and had the template printed on the vellum at Kinkos. Super cheap, since I provided the paper.
For the actual votive holders, I purchased them at Michaels. It took me awhile to find holders, because for the wraps to work, the holder has to be completely straight up and down. Most holders tend to taper towards the bottom, and the wraps will not go around properly.
This is the end result!
thanks!
When you bought the votives at Michael's, did you get the votives that come 12 in a pack?
