Don’t throw away those used-up tins from your tealights – you can turn them into Christmas ornaments…
For this project I used: burned tealight cups, metallic pipe cleaners, a bottle cap and a gem sticker (from Michaels).
Release the leftover wax from cup by placing in freezer for a few hours, it will slip right out (if not, gently nudge it out with a butter knife). If there is any residue, just wash in warm soapy water.
Using a utility scissor, cut into the rim at equal points to create a fringe.
Flatten the tin.
Do the same to another tin and hot-glue that on top, to create dimension.
I hot-glued a bottle cap to the center, surrounded it with a metallic pipe cleaner and hot-glued a gem sticker to the center.
I created loops from the pipe cleaners and attached with hot glue. I also curved the frayed edges a bit to soften the look.
Give it a try and let me know how it turned out!
