FELT COVER FOR CANDLE GLASS – tutorial

December 18, 2011 by Teje

Hello my Dear Friends!

Today I show you how I made this easy cube from felt. This is very easy and quick project! Don’t worry, you don’t need to felt. This material is not wool but something synthetic and you can buy ready sheets in many colours. I happened to have dark brown and it’s good colour because I got the idea from here …

First I cut 4 squares 4″ x 4″ and then I drew stars and hearts on them …

When you start to cut the figures, you may need small scissors to make the first hole.

After cutting the pieces decorate them by stitching or something else – use your imagination!

When you have the four ‘walls’ finished, sew them together keeping the shape of cube. If you like you can add also bottom to make a box.

I wish I had this material also in white because it would be so beautiful with red stitching and some red wooden beads! Go to see also what my dear Finnish friend Mia has made for her candle glasses! Oh, so beautiful – at ‘HandmadebyMia’!

And here it is ready with the candle glass! I think it’s quite nice! That photo which gave me this idea is from the Country Homes & Interiors. Last week I was lucky to get all these great magazines !

If you like to get new recipes for your Christmas baking, you find my Finnish Christmas coocies from this post, Christmas Stars from here and Finnish cinnamon buns from here! I have add also buttons to my side list for a while. Have fun and enjoy!

Have you ever done paper stars? I haven’t but I like them very much and always wanted to try. Now I found very good tutorial! It’s super simple and easy to follow! Visit ‘Annakata’ to read her tutorial!

I wish you wonderful week with your last Christmas preparations! Enjoy and have fun - no stress!

Thank you for your visit and your sweet comments! See you soon!

What a pretty candle holder! I love that rich brown color. Be careful having a cloth holder surrounding an open flame. Looks like fun to make!

What a great idea! Love it! Thanks for the tutorial! I’ll have to check out your Finnish Christmas cookies, guess they are similar to Norwegians….
Wishing you a lovely week!

It’s nice that the box around the candle holder looks like gingerbread! I also like your heart-shaped potholders. Thanks for your nice comment in my blog. Hyvää joulunodotusta!

That’s a great idea for a candle holder..do you put your tealight in a glass container first? Merry Christmas Teje..and a happy New Year..I’ll be back after my trip to Taiwan for my son’s wedding, at the end of January.

  Thank you Carol! Put always the tealight in the glass to be safe! And especially when using fabric or some other decoration near to the flame.
  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! x Teje

Aww you have some awesome Christmas ideas here. I really like the felt candleholder. I would love to try to make one… maybe this weekend. I am fifth grade teacher and my Science lab randomly had some felt lying around that I think I can use!:)

What a lovely post, Teje!

Your decoration seems so Finnish to me, wonderful, and I loved this tutorial, i would love to make a gingerbread-house with same technique…Maybe next year!

Happy days of sewing!

Yours,
Mia

  Thank you Mia! I think you should make that gingerbread-house as you make your felted works! Many years ago my sister (she made cloths and jackets from leather) made that kind of house from leather and she had used also wadding and quilted it! And now I realize that next uear I should make with my materials = a patchwork-gingerbread-house! Do you think that next year we would be able to begin early enough to make all the ideas we have?!
  I have in the oven Christmas cace where is red wortleberry ‘marmelade’ (=puolukka sose) in the dough! I think it’s going to be really good! x Teje
