Fun with Tealights

Very inexpensive and easy to put together! I use craft sticks (like popsicle stix- @ 75 cents for a pkg of 100+). Attach one to the back of a clear cup tealight with a sticker (sometimes I use my name/phone# stickers, "ask about my fundraisers", oppt. stickers or booking stickers). Cover the top of tealight pop with small clear plastic candy/treat bags (easy to find at stores where the baking & candy making items are) and tie the bags closed with simple ribbon! I hand them out to guests instead of votives!

These are also really cute to sell or hand out at craft fairs, too.

Include the following poem, printed out on a self-adhesive label. Attach the label to the back of your business card. Punch a hole in the corner of your business card and thread through the ribbon before you tie it around the pop.

Take this tealight home to burn,
And more free candles you can earn,
In your home the candles glow,
Call me up to book your show.
Invite your friends and then you'll see,
All the things you will get for free!!!

Here's a cute idea for a baby shower tealight pop, too. This poem can be printed out on cardstock. Remember to have your contact information on there for re-ordering purposes, too.

A tealight lollipop - though not to eat!

It's a fragrant gift that's such a treat!
Remove the wrapper, take off the stick,

Place in a holder and light the wick.
And as you enjoy the wonderful glow,

Please say a prayer for Insert Baby's Name
Thank you for sharing this day with us!

Tealight Angels

SUPPLIES:

Clear cup Tealight

Round tulle circle

Small magnet

Treat stick

Gold or silver wedding rings (in craft section @ Wal-mart)

Hot Glue gun

Angel wings (small one if you can find them)Or the white flower petals ( petals look like shells)Small pre-tied ribbons

INSTRUCTIONS:Flip tealights face down and Glue the treat stick to the back of the tealight ¼- ½ the way up the tealight.

Once glue is dried flip tealight face up.

Fold the round tulle in half, in half, then in half again. (3 folds) (it will be in a triangle)

Run a bead of hot glue part way down the stick and where the tealight meets the stick and place the angled tulle evenly on the stick with the very tip of the tulle touching the tealight.

Once dried, place a dot of glue on the tulle directly under the tealight and place a pre-tied ribbon.

Flip the tealight over again face down, and place a dot of glue above the treat stick and affix a small magnet. (Magnet should not be seen from the front of the tealights)

Place a small dot of glue above the magnet then take a small gold or silver ring and place it at an angle above the magnet resting against the back of the tealights.

Take the white flower petals or angel wings and glue them to the sides of the stick affixed to the tealights.

Flip the tealights face up and decorate the tulle as you see fit with matching ribbon. I use matching or coordinating colors to match tealights.
