I saw this project on Facebook last week and thought it would be a
great project to try.
I have heaps of imitation gold leaf which I use when
creating test pieces for new designs (I use a genuine 24kt Gold leaf in my finished jewellery) but as I have heaps of the craft
version I thought I would have a go at this as adding gold to items a lot of fun
and provides a luxury result so thought this little craft project was right up
my alley so had a go at making these over the Easter long weekend.
It was a really fun and easy project to do with my daughter, a little bit of mother daughter craft
time.
Although I love the way she has used multiples of these as tiny
vases grouped together for flowers, which is just beautiful, I actually prefer
them as votive holders, the touch of gold with a candle glowing through it at
night is very atmospheric. I now have a little row of 4 filled with red tea lights on my cabinet in the family room flickering away at night keeping me company when I cook dinner.
