Radiant Ribbon DIY Candles
In the Designer's Words: "When I picked up an old candelabra at a thrift store, instead of running out and buying some new tapers to match my decor, I created my own custom candles using some ribbon and my iron."

Instructions
-
Cut a piece of parchment paper long enough to wrap around your candle.

Select your ribbon.
-
Wrap the ribbon around the candle in any layout you like best. I wanted four different layouts so I created four patterns.

With the ribbon held secure to the candle, wrap the parchment paper around the candle.
-
Iron the parchment paper, being sure to move the iron so you don't melt the candle.
