How I made these tealight candle decorations with washi tape

First of all you can buy tealight candles from your local stores or online ( link here –tealights). There are many qualities of tealights that you get most important factor being the burnout time ( 2-3 hours) and also being smokless. So its better to check for reviews and suggestions before buying them.

Anyways you need to wrap around the tealight candle’s metal casing portion with washi tape of your choice.

The tealight candles that I had purchased weren’t tall enough as the width of the washi tape so I made these small cuts on the extra width and folded them to the base of the holder.

The washi tape I used is navy blue shaded with moroccan pattern in white. I applied glue at the center of each pattern and stuck a flat back half pearl in white shade.
