Re: Votive Placecards made easy!

Did anyone else try printing them yet? Mine came out a little off centered when I used the template...just practicing, so I hope the rest came out ok...and they were a little hard to get on the votive...you will have to cut the paper, because it overlaps a lot and is noticable ( the overlapping), but all in all, worth $4.99 for 40!!!!

OK call me crazy-but how will guests be able to pick up the candles if they are hot? If anyone has any instructions or templates they have used-please forward. Thanks,



you have to use tealight candles...that way the glass is cool near the top

Re: Votive Placecards made easy!

Just went to Michaels on 110 and they were out. Was anyone able to find them some where else?

Votives to be placed at placesettings or on card table

Quick question for anyone doing this project-are you putting the votives at esach indiv setting--or are you putting these on a small table by the door for people to carry in with them? Still trying to figure out how this works-thanks

I am using them instead of placecards. I will have them on a table when the guests come in so they know where to sit.

Re: Votive Placecards made easy!

I made three just to see how they would come out. And it smeared and I even let it dry but the oils from my hand keep making it smear. Did this happen to anyone else.

Re: Votive Placecards made easy!

I got plain vellum paper 8 1/2 x 11 after a few tries getting the font and size correct I was able to print a few on a page. Then I took my paper cutter and cut them out and attached them to a votive holder.

The one I tried came out really cute and I am so glad I found this post!!! Now I have my place cards now to find centerpieces that have candles also.... hmmmmmm

Any ideas?
