Christmas Project Parade - Day 14

Decorative Candle Stand

Our Designer Series Papers are absolutely perfect for this project, as you get to see both sides of the paper on display at once! This project looks quite complex but is actually not that tricky.
I started with a thick chipboard coaster which I covered with gold paper.

You will then need to cut a pile of DSP pieces in the shape of boats. Mine measured 4cm wide and were 10cm along the top and 7cm along the bottom.

Form each boat into a cone shape and adhere it in place. It is best to turn the bottom under a little as this helps them keep their shape.

Once you have several cones made start adhereing them around the edge of your covered coaster. Then add an extra 2 layers inside the first. I placed my candle in the centre before I adhered my cones to make sure I was getting them in the right place.
