Candle holders with buttons

Nov 9th, 2007 by iHanna

- Hands up, I’ve got a glue gun now! Ho-ho-ho!

Hands up!

Ingredients for this craft;
Candle holders in glass from IKEA that I found in a thrift shop and buttons, also bought at a thrift store.

Tool;
The amazing glue gun! I haven’t used one of these before but to glue all the buttons on the glass I borrowed a glue gun and had fun!

Result;
As you can see pretty special candle holders! I like em’! You could embelish further with beads, glitter glue or anything that will stick on glass, but I liked them with just the buttons. They shine beautiful through the semi-transparent buttons!

Todays inspiration;
a craft set, these journals and the wonderful artist Elsa Mora’s blog. Enjoy!

    Bra idé, kanske man ska prova…om man bara kunde få tummen ur och införskaffa en limpistol… :P

    Åh, så fina! Jag älskar limpistoler! Fast man bränner sig lätt, men det är härligt att dra loss limmet från fingrarna efteråt.

    Ljuslyktorna blev ju superfina! Tack för inspirationen! Nu vet jag vad jag ska göra med mina gamla IKEA ljuslyktor. :)
