Simple glass votives are wrapped in black lace trim (this type of lace can be found in the ribbon section and sold by the yard at most craft and fabric stores. I purchased mine at Jo-Ann's). I'm pleased with the way these turned out. They have a bit of a Gothic feel to them.
Pick up a yard or two of black lace trim, cut off a strip that covers the perimeter of your votive candle. Using a needle and black thread, overlap the edges and make small stitches to tack in place.
Geez, I love this. So simple, it takes a crafty genius to come up with it. Could KISS you for this idea!!!
Loving this idea as well! It definitely has the goth look to it…so perfect for Halloween! Wow! I have to do this…need to check my stash of ribbons to find some lace. Ya know what stinks, I was just at Jo Ann’s the other day, wish I’d seen this post before…I better keep a closer watch on your blog! hee hee! I love how the glow of the candle shines through the lace. Boy, I am so glad I got on your blog this morning! I am finding one great idea after the other and loving it! You’ve made my morning!
This could actually be used anytime of the year… so versatile! (and stunning)
I love this! My friend sent me to this blog to check this out! It will be PERFECT for our Halloween wedding!! Oh my…I have a lot to do before October!
Oh my… aren’t you the clever one! Love love this, found it on pintrist.

Thank you! I love this! I saw it on Pinterest as well. I am going to do this in ivory lace for my wedding. It was the perfect final touch I needed for my vintage wedding. Thank you so much!
I love these! I saw them on One Pretty Thing. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love this. I’m planning my daughter’s sweet 15 and will be doing this project. Thanks you. Be blessed.
THIS is GENIUS!!! Thank you so much for sharing it… What I love about it is you can adapt it to any holiday really by changing the colors of the lace. Too cute! I hope it’s okay, I just couldn’t help but feature this in a Halloween Crafts/Decor Round-up I just finished. You can see it here:
