Welcome to the Summer of Paper series – where we’ve invited fabulous guests to create projects using supplies from my Home + Made paper decor line.
Hey guys! Kari here from Life PreKARIous. I’m a wife, a mother of 4 (2 human, 2 canine), and a self proclaimed comedic genius. I’m messy and unorganized, but I can shake a can of spray paint like nobody’s business!
I am so excited to share this fun embellished candle centerpiece with you today! My living room is all gold, black, and white (you can check it out HERE.) so when I saw all these amazing black and gold goodies I was so excited!
I decided to spruce up my entry table with a fun little centerpiece. To make your own you’ll need:
- candles
- scrapbook paper
- scissors
- double sided tape
- pins
- chalkboard stickers
- frame
First, I cut the the paper the height of the candle. Then, I wrapped the paper around the candle and trimmed the excess, overlapping the edges about 1/4 of an inch. I used double sided tape on the edges to adhere the paper to the candle.
Once the paper was attached, I stuck some pins into the candle along the edge of the paper.
I repeated the process on the other two candles, minus the pins, using different paper. On one of the candles I added a fun chalkboard sticker.
The “tray” is just a 12″x12″ inch frame with this awesome gold leaf scrapbook paper inside. So easy, right?! A few months ago I used some liquid gold leaf on some terra cotta pots and I loved it, but this paper takes all the work out of it! It’s perfect!
I think it turned out great! And I just love the added chalkboard sticker! I’m a bigger sucker for anything chalkboard. I even have a whole chalkboard wall in my kitchen.
And so my black and gold obsession continues! Until next time folks! 😉
XOXO
