Mother's Day

Happy Monday!  I hope everyone had a lovely Mother's Day and felt appreciated and loved by their children!  I was happy to be able to host two very special mothers who are loved and appreciated beyond measure and hope they enjoyed their day.

As I've stated many times before, I'm not the most crafty, but try to do things here and there.  So, here are the little things I made for the moms...little votive candle holders.  Pretty easy, but not perfect - hey, that's handmade for you! :-)

Simply using a glass item of your choice (votive, plate, paperweight), choose decorative paper (scrapbook paper works fine) and adhere using ModPodge. A ribbon border completes the item and helps to hide any uneven paper cuts (if you are like me and never perfect even with an Exacto knife). Pretty easy!  My votive holders had rounded edges, though, which made it just a bit harder to keep the paper flat all the way around, but overall, it is a pretty simple project and the results are cute!
