Directions
Step 1
I started with square votives I picked up at Dollar Tree.
Step 2
Take your tissue paper and punch out a bunch of snowflakes.
*TIP: Fold the tissue paper a couple of times. This allows you to get a cleaner punch and you get multiple snowflakes at once.
Step 3
Using your Mod Podge, paint inside the votives and gently place your snowflakes onto the Mod Podge. Use your brush to gently tap it down. Repeat with the different colors. I worked one side at a time.
Step 4
Allow everything to dry.
Step 5
Take your Mod Podge and pour some into a disposable cup and add your glitter.
Step 6
Brush the glitter/Mod Podge mixture inside the votive and then immediately sprinkle with dry/loose glitter. Shake out any excess.
Step 7
Allow everything to dry. This will take time. You will know it is dry when it is all clear.
Step 8
I used a battery operated votive, that flickers, inside the votive holder. I do not recommend using a regular candle because it might melt or burn your glitter.
Now you have these beautiful wintery votives!
Be sure to PIN IT for later!

These are very pretty! I wonder if there would me a melting/heating conflict if you did everything on the outside of the votive holder, then used a real tealight/votive inside? Do you know? I hopped over from Clever Chicks blog hop.
