I made this candle wrap from the Candy Jars and Cupcake Stand dies from my Sweet Treats collection. The cute little candy jar has become a creepy, spider infested box. EEK!
Here’s how…
Here’s how…
Cut four jar dies from Crescent Bright Core orange/black matboard. (I love this and use it every Halloween. It’s orange on one side and black on the other. The core is orange instead of the usual white. It’s a little thicker than regular matboard which makes it nice and sturdy.)
Stamp a distressed pattern on the jar with black ink. Cut 4 jar lids from black paper and adhere them to the jars. Brush over the lids with silver metallic ink.
Adhere a piece of orange cardstock to black cardstock. Cut four pieces 2 1/2″ x 1″. Score in half down each long side- these pieces will be used to hinge the box together.
Fold paper on score lines and add adhesive to the orange side. Place in each corner of the jars until you have a box shape. Distress corners with black ink pad.
Cut the square piece of the Cupcake Stand die from the same matboard. Stamp the orange side as you did the outside of the jars. If you don’t want orange edges, color them in with a Sharpie marker. I also Sharpie’d the sides of the jars where they connect to give depth.
Add spooky embellishments. (I used Jolee’s glitter spiders) On the back jar section, cut a piece of clear packaging and add a spider partway up so it shows through when you look at the candle. What does the key unlock? Find out… if you dare!
Tie jute around the box of the jar lids.
The candle is decorated with a rub-on bat and then inked with black.
The square cupcake stand is used for the base of the project. I added kraft paper krinkle stuff to the inside of the box to raise the candle up a little.
Happy Haunting!
