Flowery candle holder

I'm a packrat. I collect things with the intention of using them in the future to make other things. Thats how i ended up with a box full of wooden tongue depressors!!!!! (left over from a school project i did in 1996! a model airplane unfortunately long gone!).So i was trying to figure what to do with them and then it hit me! candle holders for my homemade candles (one of the many things i collected over the years was paraffin). Its an easy project and you can get them in any pharmacy or ask your doctor i dont think he'll mind sparing a few (17 to be exact).

Step 1 Step 1

You'll need

1. Silicone glue gun (gets really hot so careful not to spill in on your hands)
2. 17 tongue depressors (maybe less depends on how long your candle is)
3. watercolours (you can use any colour but watercolour maintains the shapes the wood has)
4. fake plastic flowers ( take apart one of those ugly bouquets people bring as a gift)
5. Varnish
6. exacto knife (or any knife i used a butter knife!)
7. A ribbon (optional)
