Hot Glue & Glue Gun
DIRECTIONS
Using a dab of hot glue attach a piece of burlap twine to the outside of the glass candle. Begin to wrap the candle. Every so often, add a little glue to the candle, to reinforce and hold the wrap in place. Once your have fully covered the desired area of the candle, finish off this step with another dab of hot glue.
Next, use your stencil (or make a stencil using a Silhouette machine) and apply it to the twine, where you will want the monogrammed letter to appear. Make sure all of the edges are fully attached without any gaps.
Use the sponge brush and carefully apply black paint onto the stencil. Use a dabbing motion (so it gives it a bit of a weathered look). Let the paint sit for about 5 minutes and then remove the stencil.
And you’re done! You’ve got a gorgeous candle with a monogram on it. You could combine two letters to make mini gifts for your wedding or bridal shower. The ideas are simply endless!
