Creative Newlyweds...I need your help!!!

A friend of mine loved my unity candle that I made for my wedding.

She asked me to make her something like that for her daughter's first birthday, but I have no idea what it should look like.


She really wants me to do it for her and she said to surprise her, but I have no idea what it should look like. How can it play into a birthday????


Any thoughts?????


ETA: I had a hard to adhering the vellum to my candle. I had to use clear stickers to hold it. You could see it if you turned it around, but I didn't care because it was mine.
For a gift though, I would want it to look better.

How did you do it?????


Thanks

I did a quick search online and found this one as an example. You could also add a strip of ribbon along the top and bottom edges to dress it up.

Wow, thanks!!!!!!!!


I didn't know they make these.

Maybe some of that stuff the put at the bottom of those birthday party hats? (but only at the bottom, so it doesn't burn )

A picture of the birthday girl?

For my unity candle, my MOH made it and she used decorative tacks to hold the vellum on the back, I dont havea picture b/c my candle is at an aunts house and I havent picked it up.

I would imagine Michael's or AC Moore would have something, I was going to suggest pearl pins.
