Great Job! How did you make them? They look so nice!

I am afriad mine will catch on fire if I attempt it. How do you avoid that?


They are just so expensive to buy.

Thanks

Re: look what I made

thank you ladies! I actually printed it on vellum and used spray glue and glued it on then glued on a ribbon around the edges. it seriously took me 5 minutes and cost me sooo little! I think I will have them lit at the alter at the church then at a table at the RHI am not sure if they would lit on fire because the candles usually burn down in the middle and keep shape at the edges but if you were to be concerned I would shrink the writing down and make the vellum smaller on the paper. I would light the candle in advance to see how far in burns in 5 hours (the length of the reception) and see how much room you have. I got my candles at michales for n3.00 at michaels. so cheap! Le me know if any one needs help! OH!!! and I am getting married in 5 Days 16 Hours
