How-To: &Stained Glass& Votive Holders

When I’m ready to burn them, it’s easy enough to sit one on a cute little vintage china saucer, but I recently decided to try and find a fancier display solution for them. I also wanted the project to be inexpensive, and the materials used to be things I already had on hand.

To begin, you will need 7 different sheets of paper. For the tutorial I’m using white for ease of photographing, this will be the trunk and so should be out of either brown or black (I’ve never found brown copy paper, so I use black). The remaining 6 sheets should be varying sizes. Here is what the trunk and first piece look like standing up. After folding the remaining green pieces it is ready for final assembly.
