tea lights



I've been decorating tea light candles using double-sided tape and fabric. No one in my house has noticed. Or at least, no one has said anything. It's like it's my own little secret.

Here's what to do:
You need tea lights (the ones that come in a little metal dish), fabric scraps, double-sided tape to fit the height of the candle, scissors
Cut a length of tape the circumference of the candle plus a bit for overlap
Press the sticky side of the tape firmly onto the wrong side of the fabric.
Cut the fabric close to the tape along both edges and ends.
Peeling the backing off the tape as you go, stick the tape around the metal dish.

See how long you can keep it a secret.
