Looking for Valentine’s Day decoration ideas? How about making Romantic Lace Candle Holders? They are oh so pretty and require a minimum amount of supplies. PLUS you can use the same technique on various surfaces like ceramic and you can also use ribbon instead of lace to decorate!
Romantic Lace Candle Holders
Supplies:
– Candle Holders
– Lace Trim
– Découpage Multi-Surface Durable Matte Finish (I used the Martha Stewart Crafts brand.)
– Découpage Brush
– Scissors
– Wax Paper
Instructions:
Step 1: Take out the lace trim you would like to use on your candle holder. Wrap it around the candle holder and cut off the extra lace.
Step 2: Place the lace trim on a piece of wax paper. Apply the Découpage finish onto a small length of lace (just enough to go on one side of the candle holder) using the brush.
Step 3: Lay the candle holder on its side and apply the lace trim on one side. Allow it to dry for about 15-20 minutes.
Step 4: Repeat Step 3 until you have completed all the side of the candle holder.
Step 5: Add a candle and you are finished!

Yesterday I was sort of down in the dumps and there’s a Michael’s 1 mile from us so DH wanted me to drive him to Quisnos for a sub. As I entered the door and started to walk down the crafts aisles, I spotted lace like this in cellaphane packages with glass vases and mason jar sample demostrations above. I didn’t really check it out thoroughly but immediately I knew I had seen this on Pinterest. Next time I’m down there, I’ll check it out more thoroughly. Since DH was waiting for me, I couldn’t take my time to examine it.
