Colour a votive wrap
- Create your own dazzling
‘candlescape’. After colouring in
your picture, lay it facedown on
a clean surface. Roll a glass votive
across the wrong side, tracing
the top and bottom of the glass
with a pencil as you roll. Cut
along each arc. To let the candle
shine through, cut away sections
of the design with a craft knife
then join around the glass with
double-sided tape.
Put ’em on display
- As your portfolio grows,
show it off so others can enjoy
your work too. Seal by spraying
with artists’ fixative and mount
onto lightweight foam board or, for
a longer-lasting display, behind
glass in an appealing white frame.
These cards suit
any occasion- And mean so much more
because they’re handmade.
Colour your design then mount
onto coloured card. Personally
delivered cards can be cut to any
size – for mailing, you’ll find it
easier to find an envelope to fit if
you crop to a standard card size.
