Paper Flower Candle Holder

     Looking for a way to make plain, LED tealight candles look nicer?  Add a paper flower candle holder.  This incarnation of the craft can be somewhat time consuming because it requires cutting out all of the detailed areas, but if you don't cut out the detailed areas you could have a much faster and still pretty flower holder.  I got my inspiration for this craft from this site.

Materials:
*2 sheets of copy paper in color of your choice
*Double sided tape
*Scissors
*X-acto knife
*LED tealight candle (you could probably use a regular candle as well, as long as it was in a glass holder so you minimize the risk of burning the paper)

Directions:
*Size the below template so that your tealight candle would fit in the center of the smaller flower and then print out and cut out the template, using your X-acto knife to cut out the detailed regions.

*Trace two copies of the large template and one copy of the small template onto the copy paper and then cut out.  I took a shortcut on this step and used my Silhouette CAMEO to cut everything out.

*Bend up the petals on the smaller flower like this:

*Curl the petals of one of the smaller flowers like so and then tape the bottom of the smaller flower to the center of this larger flower.

*Curl the petals of the remaining flower a little and then tape the bottom of the two flowers stacked together to the center of this flower.

*Place the candle in the center and you're done!
