I'm no Martha Stewart but I think I could pull this idea I found on her website off! This would be a beautiful way to decorate your mantle for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It looks so festive! All you do is wrap hurricane glasses in layers of colorful tissue paper to cause a glowing
effect: It looks like there are multiple colors but only one shade is
used. Lovely and simple!
You will need:
Assorted sizes hurricane glasses or similar clear glass cylinders
Tissue paper in assorted colors
Tape
Small votive candles
And Here Are The Directions:
1.
Cut 4 pieces of 20-by-26-inch tissue paper in half crosswise. Lay flat
on a work surface, and make a 1- to 2-inch fold on the bottom of one
piece.
2. Make a larger fold in another piece, and fit it
into the fold of the first piece of paper. Repeat process with remaining
pieces of paper, making some folds thinner and some wider.
3.
Wrap around hurricane glasses, and then secure with tape. Place a small
votive candle in each. Be sure wick is cut short and doesn't come in
contact with the paper.
