For this project, you will need:
A cylinder-shaped glass candleholder about four inches in height
One package of glass pebbles
One three-inch pillar candle
A couple of containers of glass paint, in various colors
A paintbrush
One package of small brads (These are typically used in card-making and scrapbooking and can be found at an arts-and-crafts store.)
Begin by painting the name of a person, date of death, or any message on the outside of the glass candleholder. Add any other graphic elements of choice around the painted text. Set aside and let dry. Push the pointed end of several brads into the pillar candle to create a decorative banding. Set candle aside. Lastly, pour the glass pebbles into the painted candleholder and place candle inside.
More ideas
Personalize the candle itself by using letter brads to spell out name.
For a more traditional look, use a smaller glass hurricane candle holder and tie a ribbon around the top.
Wrap entire project in cellophane, tie with a ribbon and give as a gift.en for an alternate way to spell out the words, ‘thank you.’
